A New Algorithm for Mobile Robot Obstacle Avoidance Based on Hydrodynamics

The algorithm for mobile robot obstacle avoidance based on hydrodynamics applies the continuity and smoothness of fluid motion into the motion of mobile robot. First, the basic principle of the algorithm is introduced based on the reference pattern of non-circulation circumfluence. Second, the smooth obstacle-avoidance is put into reality by combining the movement characters of mobile robot and liquid. Finally, the validity of the algorithm is got by simulation test. At the same time, the algorithm can be broadened the research field of mobile robot kinematics.
