Abstract :
An approach to reactive obstacle avoidance is proposed. The concept of an artificial protection field is introduced and then once a path is planned, the information of a laser range finder is used for obstacle detection. If necessary, a path recalculation is then performed. Experimental tests have been implemented on P3-AT mobile robot under several scenarios.
