ON THE MAP NAVIGATION USING THE LAPLACE EQUATION
M. Andrecut, Mazhar Ali · International Journal of Modern Physics C · 2001
In the framework of vectorial field analysis, the problem of map navigation can be reduced to the construction of the appropriate goal gradients. The solution of the Laplace equation with boundary conditions can be used to build such goal gradients. Inspired by this classical method, we present a more efficient cellular automaton algorithm for robotic map navigation.
