High-speed Obstacle Avoidance
نویسنده
چکیده
A new real-time obstacle avoidance approach for mobile robots has been developed and implemented. This approach permits the detection of unknown obstacles simultaneously with the steering of the mobile robot to avoid collisions and advancing toward the target. The novelty of this approach, entitled the Virtual Force Field, lies in the integration of two known concepts: Certainty Grids for obstacle representation, and Potential Fields for navigation. This combination is especially suitable for the accommodation of inaccurate sensor data (such as produced by ultrasonic sensors) as well as for sensor W i n , and enables continuous motion of the robot without stopping in front of obstacles. Experimental results from a mobile robot running at a maximum speed of 0.78 m/sec demonstrate the power of the proposed algorithm.

Obstacle avoidance for an autonomous vehicle using force field method
This paper presents a force field concept for guiding a vehicle at a high speed maneuver. This method is similar to potential field method. In this paper, motion constrains like vehicles velocity, distance to obstacle and tire conditions and such lane change conditions as zero slop condition and zero lateral acceleration are discussed. After that, possible equations as vehicles path ar...
متن کاملSpeed-Dependent Obstacle Avoidance by Dynamic Active Regions
An obstacle avoidance approach is introduced that has dynamic active regions. The dynamic regions are adapted to the current speed of the robot and there are different active regions used, one for speed reduction and one of turning away from obstacles. The overall strategy of this approach is that the robot can drive with high speed which will be reduced in front of an obstacle in order to do a...
متن کاملWOAH: An Obstacle Avoidance Technique for High Speed Path Following
This paper presents WOAH, a method for real-time mobile robot path following and obstacle avoidance. WOAH provides reactive speed and turn instructions based on obstacle information sensed by a laser range finder. Unlike many previous techniques, this method allows a robot to move quickly past obstacles that are not directly in its path, avoiding slowdowns in path following encountered by previ...
