  • Abstract
    We propose a biologically inspired navigation algorithm and implement it on an intelligent wheelchair. The intelligent wheelchair demonstrates an excellent performance in detecting and avoiding static and moving obstacles under the guidance of the proposed algorithm, and it is able to safely and efficiently reach the target in a cluttered dynamic environment.
