Obstacle avoidance in local navigation

A reactive navigation system for an autonomous non-holonomic mobile robot in dynamic environments is presented. A new object detection algorithm and a new reactive collision avoidance method are presented. The sensory perception is based in a laser range finder (LRF) system. Simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed local navigational system in unknown environments with multiple moving objects.
