The Method of Obstacle Avoidance for Mobile Robots Based on Virtual Force Field
Chen Li · Machine Tool & Hydraulics · 2005
The method of obstacle avoidance for mobile robot based on the virtual force field was presented.The method uses certainty grids for obstacle representation,with simplicity and direct-view.This method permits the mobile robot to detect unknown obstacles and avoid collisions in the movement and further advance toward the target.The experimental results demonstrate its purpose of obstacle avoidance.However,a disturbance easily causes the robot to enter into unstable motion.
