Applying fuzzy logic to robot navigation

Briefly reviews co‐ordinate‐based navigation, behaviour‐based navigation, navigation with a conic mirror and navigation with a spherical mirror. Proposes to include fuzzy languages and fuzzy instructions to perform robot navigation. Gives illustrative examples. One main characteristic of this approach is to trade precision with speed. This approach may also be applied to object motion tracking and fault‐tolerant task scheduling.
