Intelligent reactive navigation

In this study a reactive navigation controller using fuzzy logic has been designed. The reactive controller deals with the uncertamty and ambiguity of the information the system (mobile robot) receives. The technique has been used on MOBIRO, an experimental mobile robot holding a set of five ultrasonic proximity sensors to extract the knowledge from its surroundings. The developed technique generates satisfactory real time safe movements (no collisions) of the autonomous vehicle. Simulation and experimental results show that the method can be satisfactory used by mobile robots moving on unknown static terrains.
