Abstract

In this paper, we deal with the experimental verification of 1D virtual force field algorithm based reflexive local path planning on uneven and dusty environment. The existing obstacle detection method on uneven and dusty environment and 1D virtual force field based reflexive local path planning algorithm simply are introduced. Although the 1D virtual force field algorithm is verified by various simulations, additional efforts are needed to verify this algorithm in the real-world. The introduced methods are combined with each other, installed to real mobile platforms and verified by various real experiments.
