Abstract
The popularity of autonomous mobile robots have been rapidly increasing due to their new emerging application area, from room cleaning, tourist guidance to space explorations. However, the development of a satisfactory control algorithm that will enable the autonomous mobile robots to navigate safely especially in dynamic environments is still an open research problem. In this paper, a newly proposed potential field based control method is implemented, analyzed, and improvements are suggest based on experimental results obtain from computer simulations. The experimental results are presented to show the effectiveness of the behavior-based control using the proposed potential field generation technique.
