Robot Navigation Using Velocity Potential Fields and Particle Filters for Obstacle Avoidance

In this thesis, robot navigation using the Particle Filter based FastSLAM approach for obstacle avoidance derived from a modified Velocity Potential Field method was investigated. A switching controller was developed to deal with robot’s efficient turning direction when close to obstacles. The deter...
