چکیده

The Lane-Curvature Method (LCM) presented in this paper is a new local obstacle avoidance method for indoor mobile robots. The method combines the Curvature-Velocity Method (CVM) with a new directional method called the Lane Method. The lane method divides the environment into lanes, and then chooses the best lane to follow to optimize travel along a desired heading. A local heading is then calculated for entering and following the best lane, and CVM uses this heading to determine the optimal transla-tional and rotational velocities, considering the heading direction, physical limitations, and environmental constraints. By combining both directional and velocity space methods, LCM yields safe collision-free motion as well as smooth motion taking the dynamics of the robot into account.

The Beam-curvature Method: a New Approach for Improving Local Real-time Obstacle Avoidance

This paper describes a new local avoidance method for indoor mobile robots. The method uses a directional method named the Beam Method to improve the performance of a local obstacle avoidance approach called Curvature Velocity Method (CVM). The proposed Beam Method employs radial distances provided by the robot sensors to calculate the best one-step headings. The CVM uses this information to ca...

Motion Control for Autonomous

Maneuvers of a nonholonomic vehicle in a structured dynamic environment are considered. The paper focuses on motion generation and control methods to autonomously perform lane following/changing, parallel parking and returning to traac maneuvers. Lane fol-lowing/changing involves the tracking of a nominal trajectory in the traac lane, and the generation and tracking of local lane-changing traje...

Motion Planning in Dynamic Environments: Obstacles Moving Along Arbitrary Trajectories

This paper generalizes the concept of velocity obstacles [3] to obstacles moving along arbitrary trajectories. We introduce the non-linear velocity obstacle, which takes into account the shape, velocity and path curvature of the moving obstacle. The non-linear v-obstacle allows selecting a single avoidance maneuver (if one exists) that avoids any number of obstacles moving on any known trajecto...
