Design And Path Planning Research For Mobile Robot

The research of intelligent mobile robot has already become more and more popular in recent years.Mobile robot is ingelligent or autonomous to a certain extent. Rencently, mobile robot are being introduced into many application situations. High demands on the automatic moving ability of mobile robot are put forward by these applications. The purpose of this work is to build up an experiment platform for the 211 Program "The Research of Intelligent Mobile Robot" and make a primary foundation for path planning method research.In this paper, the main work includes:Firstly, we designed the bodywork for the robot, got the motors, photoelectric encodes and some accessories.then we designed the driving system for it. After all of these, we fixed them onto the mobile robot and debugged them.Secondly, this thesis discussed the methods on modeling of environment and searching strategy, and especially discussed the potential function for mobile robot path planning. Proposed a potential function, and analysed the defect existing in the traditional potential function. In the face of shotcomings of the traditional potential function, I proposed a improved potential function with simulated annealing, it has effective overcome these shortcomings.In the final part of this paper, the research and result are summarized. The future of this research field is described.
