Parallel-parking control of autonomous mobile robot

This paper is devoted to the design and implementation of a complete intelligent mechatronic system-a mobile robot possessing autonomous parallel parking capability. In this paper, the configuration of the overall system is firstly introduced. The intelligent parallel-parking control method is addressed in the second topic, where a feasible reference path is provided for the fuzzy logic controller to maneuver the steering angle of the robot. The simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the developed control algorithm. The authors not only investigate intelligent parallel-parking control methods but also real-time maneuvering of the developed sensor-based mobile robot. The real-time control of the parallel parking system demonstrates the feasibility of the fuzzy control scheme.
