Abstract

Simple quadratic potential functions for unicycle robot path planning are presented, where proposed algorithm for path planning has the different environment for each robot based on LOS(Line Of Sight) between a target and an obstacle, unlike a conventional path planning. In doing so, the proposed algorithm assumes that each swarm robot equips its own vision instead of a ceiling camera. In particular, this paper presents that each robot follows its different local leader. As a result proposed algorithm reduces local minimum problems by the help of each local leader.
