AN ALGORITHMIC APPROACH FOR OBSTACLE AVOIDING MOBILE AUTOBOT

Abstract

An obstacle avoiding mobile Autobot, is a small wheeled robot that travels from a starting point to a destination point by avoiding collision with the various objects in its path. This paper proposes an algorithm for obstacle avoidance Robot based on the odometry that is the path or track of travel. It also formulates the implementation strategy in avoidance of obstacles, relative to the position of the robot. A two dimensional co-ordinate system is generated using odometry which helps the Autobot to remain over its desired path.
