Abstract
The resistive grid algorithm for mobile robot path planning is described. A major advantage of the method is that it is capable of a fine-grained parallel analogue VLSI implementation, which offers a fast, low-power solution to the problem of mobile robot navigation. The results from a small-scale test chip are presented, together with their implications for scaling up to a full-sized path-planning chip
