Multi Sensor-Based Obstacle Avoidance Algorithm in Visual Engineering Environment

Obstacle avoidance is an essential problem for applications involving multiple wheeled mobile robots. This research proposes a simple obstacle rule utilizing only one type of sensor, i.e., infrared sensor. In this research, sensors are placed on robot, arranged 45° radially equidistance. By using low-cost and easily available the cost time consumed to build repair robot considerably reduced. Avoiding rules, based behavior, such as “turn”, “stop”, “follow”, “ignore” developed. applying these each can refer motion other or stationary object avoid collision. Simulation results show that proposed algorithm performs well, at 66.7% chance avoiding moving 93% object.
