nRobotic applications to path planning for mobile robots in missions

This paper offers applications of the nRobotic platform in the framework of path planning and collision avoidance for mobile robots in missions. The nRobotic platform has been proposed three years ago and developed at the “Politehnica” University of Timisoara, Romania, aiming communication with several types of robots. The concept of robot operation is introduced to represent common actions that can be performed by a robot and shared across various missions requiring more than a single capability. A new path planning algorithm is suggested in this paper as an extension of the vector field histogram algorithm with an additional input represented by the positions of other robots. Aspects concerning the implementation of the new path planning algorithm and experimental results are included.
