In this paper, the smooth path planning problem is considered for a mobile robot based on the genetic algorithm and the Bezier curve. The workspace of a mobile robot is described by a new grid-based representation (2 × 2n grids) that facilitates the operations of the adopted genetic algorithm. The chromosome of the genetic algorithm is composed of a sequence of binary numbered grids (i.e., cont...

In this paper, we develop a new hybrid curve fitting model using fuzzy set and rough set theory. The developed method differs from classical curve fitting techniques and algorithms. For produced rule sets of model to create by using fuzzy logic technique and the membership functions of input and output functions, the range of membership functions and the relations between membership functions i...

Bezier curves (BC) have become fundamental tools in many challenging and varied applications, ranging from computer aided geometric design to generic object shape descriptors. A major limitation of the classical Bezier curve however, is that only global information about its control points (CP) is considered, so there can often be a large gap between the curve and its control polygon, leading t...

In the present note, we introduce a Bezier variant of a new type of Bernstein Durrmeyer operator, which was introduced by Gupta [3]. We estimate the rate of convergence by using the decomposition technique of functions of bounded variation and applying the optimum bound. It is observed that the analysis for our Bezier variant of new Bernstein Durrmeyer operators is different from the usual Bern...

This paper presents a path planning method considering physical limits for two-wheeled mobile robots (TMRs). A convolution operator is used to generate the center velocity trajectory to travel the distance along predefined Bezier curve while considering the physical limits. The trajectory gained through convolution does not consider the rotating angle of TMR, so we present a transformational me...

This paper proposes four methods to approximate circular arcs using quartic Bezier curves. Barycentric coordinates of two/three combination of control points are used to obtain an optimal approximation. Interior control points of quartic Bezier curves are found by satisfying G data from given circular arcs. The maximum errors between circular arcs and approximated curves are calculated using Ha...

This thesis presents a robust method for evaluating differential geometry properties of sculptured surfaces by using a validated ordinary differential equation (ODE) system solver based on interval arithmetic. Iso-contouring of curvature of a Bezier surface patch, computation of curvature lines of a Bezier surface patch and computation of geodesics of a Bezier surface patch are computed by the ...
