A Efficient and Dynamic Algorithm for Accurate Mobile Robot Navigation

Mobile robots play a prominent role in many industrial applications to simplify the job of an individual. While they are used extensively in the industry and household applications, one prevailing challenge in mobile robots navigation in presence of dense obstacles. Identifying this challenge, this paper proposes an efficient and dynamic algorithm for accurate mobile robot navigation through a portable integrated system equipped with a Pioneer P3-DX robot and an array of sonar sensors. Based on the input received from the user, the proposed algorithm can dynamically calculate the most efficient route to reach the destination, and travel the path by avoiding any obstacle in its path. Through implementation and extensive testing, the proposed algorithm can detect obstacles with 98% accuracy, and reach its target location with an average position error of 0.009m.
