Abstract

This paper presents further improvements on the earlier vector field histogram (VFH) method developed by Borenstein-Koren (1991) for real-time mobile robot obstacle avoidance. The enhanced method, called VFH+, offers several improvements that result in smoother robot trajectories and greater reliability. VFH+ reduces some of the parameter tuning of the original VFH method by explicitly compensating for the robot width. Also added in VFH+ is a better approximation of the mobile robot trajectory, which results in higher reliability.
