Alaa A. Ahmed, Turki Y. Abdalla, Ali A. Abed . Path Planning of Mobile Robot by using Modified Optimized Potential Field Method. International Journal of Computer Applications. 113, 4 ( March 2015), 6-10. DOI=10.5120/19812-1614
This paper deals with the navigation of a mobile robot in an unknown environment by using artificial potential field (APF) method. The aim is to develop a method for path planning of mobile robot from start point to the goal point while avoiding obstacles on robot's path. Artificial potential field method will be modified and optimized by using particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to solve the drawbacks such as local minima and improve the quality of the trajectory of mobile robot.
