Today I read a paper titled “Neural Networks in Mobile Robot Motion”
The abstract is:
This paper deals with a path planning and intelligent control of an autonomous robot which should move safely in partially structured environment
This environment may involve any number of obstacles of arbitrary shape and size; some of them are allowed to move
We describe our approach to solving the motion-planning problem in mobile robot control using neural networks-based technique
Our method of the construction of a collision-free path for moving robot among obstacles is based on two neural networks
The first neural network is used to determine the “free” space using ultrasound range finder data
The second neural network “finds” a safe direction for the next robot section of the path in the workspace while avoiding the nearest obstacles
Simulation examples of generated path with proposed techniques will be presented
