OBSTACLE AVOIDANCE SYSTEM FOR AUTONOMOUS MOBILE: A REVIEW

Abstract

Recent advancements in the field of autonomous vehicles have attracted a lot of interest which indirectly, increased the amount of research and development that went into autonomous mobile robots. Unlike older industrial robots, which have limited mobility and capabilities, current autonomous robots are capable of autonomous movement and navigation, including path planning and obstacle avoidance. These robots can perform tasks that humans are unwilling to perform. Obstacle avoidance system for autonomous mobile robots especially Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), is one of the main key structures to a successful application of path planning and navigation. This paper presented various types of existing methods of collision avoidance systems or techniques used for mobile robots, especially for Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) and the limitations of each method.
