Abstract

This paper presents a theoretic study and computer simulation of models and approaches for dynamical obstacle avoidance by mobile robots. The movement of obstacles in unknown environment is described by any one or a combination of three models. The control strategy of the mobile robots is formulated based on one of three approaches. A trajectory-guided control strategy for dynamical obstacle avoidance has been developed. The method greatly simplifies the control process of mobile robots, and is computationally attractive.
