Using Artificial Potential Field Methods and Fuzzy Logic for Mobile Robot Control

This paper presents a new control method for mobile robots moving in its work field which is based on fuzzy logic and artificial potential field. First, the artificial potential field method is presented. The paper treats unconstrained movement based on attractive artificial potential field and after that discuss the constrained movement based on attractive and repulsive artificial potential field. A fuzzy controller is designed. Finally, some applications are presented.
