A generic traffic priority language for autonomous robots navigation in an unknown space
Nikolaos Bourbakis · 2003
Presents a generic traffic priority language, called KYKLOFORIA, used by autonomous robots for collision free navigation in the same unknown or known navigation space. In this work, the robots are autonomous and there is no need of a central control to coordinate them. The only requirement is a primitive communication indications among the robots. Based on these conditions and some additional assumptions the author has developed a traffic priority language for each robot, in order to make its own 'right' decision during the navigation avoiding any possible collision with other moving objects. The traffic priority language is based on a set of primitive traffic priority alphabet and production rules which compose corridor-patterns for the application of the traffic rules.>
