Abstract
Navigation and collision avoidance are major areas of research in mobile robotics that involve varying degrees of uncertainty. In general, the problem consists of achieving sensor based motion control of a mobile robot among obstacles in structured and/or unstructured environments with collision-free motion as the priority. A fuzzy logic based intelligent control strategy has been developed here to computationally implement the approximate reasoning necessary for handling the uncertainty inherent in the collision avoidance problem. The fuzzy controller was tested on a mobile robot system in an indoor environment and found to perform satisfactorily despite having crude sensors and minimal sensory feedback.
