Abstract

The present chapter deals with the issues related to design and development of autonomous mobile robots. One of the major issues in developing an intelligent and autonomous robot is to design an appropriate scheme for planning its motion without any human intervention. Both conventional potential field method as well as soft computing-based approaches have been developed for the said purpose. Initially, the performances of all the approaches have been studied through computer simulations. Thereafter, real experiments are conducted to test the effectiveness of the said approaches. A camera-based vision system has been used to collect information of the environment, while carrying out the real experiments.
