Robot navigation is an indispensable component of any mobile service robot. Many path
planning algorithms generate a path which has many sharp or angular turns. Such paths are …

Robots are currently replacing human in different activities in various sectors, which vary
from typical robots for industrial applications to self-directed robots for difficult tasks, for …

Abstract In recent years, Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) have been widely used as
service robots. Unlike industrial robots, which are situated in fixed and controlled positions …

Robot path planning in uncertain dynamic environment is a hot issue in the field of
Unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). Starting from the practical demands of UGV, we propose …

Abstract The Rapidly-exploring Random Trees Star (RRT*) is widely used in unmanned
vehicle path planning. However, it suffers from excessive sampling randomness, long …

After years of development, low-cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) play a pyramidally
important role in applications of miscellaneous fields by virtues of their excellent mobility and …

Reactive navigation is a well-known paradigm for controlling an autonomous mobile robot,
which suggests making all control decisions through some light processing of the …

This study presents an extended vector polar histogram (EVPH) method for efficient robot
navigation using omni-directional LiDAR data. Although the conventional vector polar …

This paper solves a motion planning problem from a motion safety perspective, where a
variant of the classical Rapidly exploring Random Tree (RRT) approach [1] called p-safe …

The rapid control of a sonar-guided vehicle to pursue a goal while avoiding obstacles has
been a persistent research topic for decades. Taking into account the limited field-of-view of …
