Fuzzy logic based collision avoidance for a mobile robot

Navigation and collision avoidance are major areas of research in mobile robotics that involve varying degrees of uncertainty. In general, the problem consists of achieving sensor based motion control of a mobile robot among obstacles in structured and/or unstructured environments with collision-free motion as the proirity. A fuzzy logic based intelligent control strategy has been developed here to computationally implement the approximate reasoning necessary for handling the uncertainty inherent in the collision avoidance problem.<<ETX>>
