Abstract :
In this paper a fuzzy and communication system for managing and controlling the basic movements of a mobile robot is proposed. Several ultrasound and infrared sensors are installed on the robot and the collected data is operated with the means of fuzzy logic and thus decisions for the robot route are made. This intelligent system is created to navigate the mobile robot indoors in an unknown environment. The application areas of the robot are for embedded and mobile device, guiding of visual impaired people, mobile vehicle in technological lines, etc.
