Study of Obstacle Avoidance Strategies for Efficient Autonomous Navigation of Wheeled Robots in Unknown Environments

摘要

This paper studied several obstacle avoidance strategies proposed within recent state of the art for autonomous navigation of wheeled robots to efficiently deal with unknown environment. Some initial experiments have been performed in this paper to identify the most important features, (e.g., obstacle representation, efficient control of robot's direction, etc.) that an obstacle avoidance strategy must include in order to guarantee an effective autonomous navigation system for wheeled robots in unknown environments.
