Mobile Robot Path Planning Software and Hardware Implementations

摘要

This paper presents the use of search algorithms and discrete environments to find the path in mobile robots systems navigation. Implementations of Breadth-First search algorithm are made both in software and in hardware. The results using the hardware approach provide significant time gain, compared with the software implementation. The time gain and the dynamical hardware reconfigurability allow multiple tasks implementation and the possibility to choose the appropriate one for the application.
