Abstract

This paper presents a methodology of path planning and navigation for an autonomous mobile robot. A fast algorithm using decomposition technique, which computes the optimal paths between all pairs of nodes, is proposed for real-time calculation. The robot is controlled by fuzzy approximation reasoning. Our new methodology has been implemented on a mobile robot. The results show that the robot successfully navigates to its destination following the optimal path.
