This paper proposes a new fuzzy-neural algorithm for navigation of a mobile robot with stationary and moving obstacles environment. The proposed algorithm uses fuzzy algorithm for its speed control and neuralnetwork for effective collision avoidance. Some computer simulation results for a mobile robot equipped with ultrasonic range sensors show that the suggested navigation algorithm is very effective to escape in stationary and moving obstacles environment.

We developed a FLC(Fuzzy Logic Controller) for tracking control of MR(Mobile Robot) with obstacle avoidance. In this research, we made a heuristic approach to tracking control which is simple and efficient in almost every situation using FLC. In addition, smooth turn is accomplished and also obstacles are avoided. Also we used the XX(don't care) linguistic variable for inputs in FLC to make simple rule-table. With various simulations, the validity of our FLC was shown.

This paper proposes a fuzzy algorithm for determining navigation path of an autonomous mobile robot in uncertain environment. The proposed fuzzy algorithm includes three type (MIN-TIME, ECONOMY, SAFETY) motion modes for the robot to get the ability to meet the ambiguous situation which the robot encounters. Ech ode is applied to both static and dynamic environmental situation. This paper concludes by showing the efficiency of the proposed method through some computer simulation results.

In the 21st century, the rapid development of automation and artificial intelligence technologies is driving innovative changes in various industrial sectors. In the transportation industry, this is evident with the commercialization of autonomous vehicles. Moreover research into autonomous navigation technologies is actively underway in the aviation and maritime sectors. Consequently, for the practical implementation of autonomous ships, an effective collision avoidance algorithm has become a crucial element. Therefore, this study proposes a collision avoidance algorithm based on the Obstacle Zone by Target(OZT), which visually represents areas with a high likelihood of collisions with other ships or obstacles. The A-star algorithm was utilized to represent obstacles on a grid and assess collision risks. Subsequently, a collision avoidance algorithm was developed that performs fuzzy control based on calculated waypoints, allowing the vessel to return to its original course after avoiding the collision. Finally, the validity of the proposed algorithm was verified through collision avoidance simulations in various encounter scenarios.

For the autonomous movement, the optimal pat]1 planning connecting between current and target positions is essential, and the optimal path of mobile robot means obstacle-free and the shortest length path to a target position. Many actual mobile robots should move without any information of surrounded obstacles. This paper suggests a new method of obstacle avoidment which is suitable in unknown environments. This method of obstacle avoidance is designed with a distributed fuzzy control system, and imitates a Potential Field method. A simulation confirms the performance and correctness of the obstacle avoidance.

In this paper, we propose a predictive system for the avoidance of the moving obstacle. In the dynamic environment, robots should travel to the target point without collision with the moving obstacle. For this, we need the prediction of the position and velocity of the moving obstacle. So, we use the Kalman filer algorithm for the prediction. And for the application of the Kalman filter algorithm about the real time travel, we obtain the position of the obstacle which has the future time using Fuzzy system. Through the computer simulation studies, we show the effectiveness of the proposed navigational algorithm for autonomous mobile robots.

This paper proposes a method of avoiding obstacles and tracking a moving object continuously and simultaneously by using new concepts of virtual tow point and fuzzy danger factor for differential wheeled mobile robots. Since differential wheeled mobile robot has smaller degree of freedom to control and are non-holonomic systems, there exist multiple solutions (trajectories) to control and reach a target position. The paper proposes 'fuzzy danger factor' for obstacles avoidance, 'virtual tow point' to solve non-holonomic object tracking control problem for unique solution and three kinds of fuzzy logic controller. The fuzzy logic controller is policy decision controller with fuzzy danger factor to decide which controller's result is more valuable when the mobile robot is tracking a moving object with obstacles to be avoided.

실시간 정보가 알려지지 않은 해저환경에서 자율수중 운동체(AUV, Autonomous Underwater Vehicle)가 성공적인 임무 수행을 완료하기 위해서는 주어진 목표지점까지의 안전하고 효율적인 경로설정이 선행되어야 한다. 이를 위해 평가함수(evaluation function)에 기반한 휴리스틱 탐색(heuristic search)이 사용되는데 대부분의 평가함수는 목표점까지의 거리, 소모되는 연료로 구성된다[1]. 본 논문에서는 영역전문가가 보유한 장애물회피 관련 경험적 정보(heuristic information)를 반영하여 보다 효율적인 평가함수를 고안하며 후보노드들간의 관계성을 고려한 퍼지관계곱(Fuzzy Relational Products) 기반 휴리스틱 탐색기법을 제안한다. 제안한 탐색기법의 성능을 검증하기 위해 수행시간(cpu time), 경로의 최적화(optimization)정도, 사용 메모리 관점에서 시뮬레이션을 통해 $A^*$ 탐색기법과 비교한다.

This paper presents a path planning method of the sensor based intelligent vehicle using fuzzy logic controller for avoidance of moving obstacles in unknown environments. Generally it is too difficult and complicated to control intelligent vehicle properly by recognizing unknown terrain with sensors because the great amount of imprecise and ambiguous information has to be considered. In this respect a fuzzy logic can manage such the enormous information in a quite efficient manner. Furthermore it is necessary to use the relative velocity to consider the mobility of obstacles, In order to avoid moving obstacles we must deliberate not only vehicle's relative speed toward obstacles but also self-determined acceleration and steering for the satisfaction of avoidance efficiency. In this study all the primary factors mentioned before are used as the input elements of fuzzy controllers and output signals to control velocity and steering angle of the vehicle. The main purpose of this study is to develop fuzzy controllers for avoiding collision with moving obstacles when they approach the vehicle travelling with straight line and for returning to original trajectory. The ability are and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm are demonstrated by simulations and experiments.

UUV(Unmanned Underwater Vehicle) should possess an intelligent control software performing intellectual faculties such as cognition, decision and action which are parts of domain expert's ability, because unmanned underwater robot navigates in the hazardous environment where human being can not access directly. In this paper, we suggest a RVC intelligent system architecture which is generally available for unmanned vehicle and develope an autonomous navigation system for UUV, which consists of collision avoidance system, path planning system, and collision-risk computation system. We present an obstacle avoidance algorithm using fuzzy relational products for the collision avoidance system, which guarantees the safety and optimality in view of traversing path. Also, we present a new path-planning algorithm using poly-line for the path planning system. In order to verify the performance of suggested autonomous navigation system, we develop a simulation system, which consists of environment manager, object, and 3-D viewer.
