Abstract :
The research in mobile robotics provided some heuristics, such as elastic networks - an algorithm originally used in optimization problems - or geometrical analysis - an approach that solves the path planning problem in a Cartesian perspective. In this paper, it is proposed a new path planning method inspired by a traversal algorithm and the elastic networks theory for mobile robots in unknown environments.
