SUMMARYThis paper presents a trajectory generation method using smooth functions for an automatic guidance system of an autonomous vehicle with two differentially driven wheels within structured environments. A control algorithm based on an incrementally generated smooth trajectory gives a good performance when implemented on an experimental vehicle.

Problem of autonomous vehicle platooning in an automated highway setting has drawn many attentions, both in academia and industry, during last two decades. This paper studies the problem of vehicle platooning with a particular focus on merging control algorithm when one or several vehicle(s) merge(s) from the adjacent lane into the main vehicle platoon under longitudinal control. Different longitudinal controllers have been compared. A practical novel multi-vehicle merge-in strategy and an adaptive lateral trajectory generation method have been proposed. The proposed approach is then tested and verified in our newly developed simulation platform SimPlatoon.

We study problems of intercepting single and multiple invasive intruders on a boundary of a planar region by employing a team of autonomous unmanned surface vehicles. First, the problem of intercepting a single intruder has been studied and then the proposed strategy has been applied to intercepting multiple intruders on the region boundary. Based on the proposed decentralised motion control algorithm and decision making strategy, each autonomous vehicle intercepts any intruder, which tends to leave the region by detecting the most vulnerable point of the boundary. An efficient and simple mathematical rules based control algorithm for navigating the autonomous vehicles on the boundary of the see region is developed. The proposed algorithm is computationally simple and easily implementable in real life intruder interception applications. In this paper, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a real-time solution to the considered problem of intruder interception. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed by computer simulations with both single and multiple intruders.

This work is intended to give an overview of technologies, developed from an artificial intelligence standpoint, devised to face the different planning and control problems involved in trajectory generation for mobile robots. The purpose of this analysis is to give a current context to present the Evolutionary Robotics approach to the problem, which is now being considered as a feasible methodology to develop mobile robots for solving real life problems. This chapter also show the authors’ experiences on related case studies, which are briefly described (a fuzzy logic based path planner for a terrestrial mobile robot, and a knowledge-based system for desired trajectory generation in the Geosub underwater autonomous vehicle). The development of different behaviours within a path generator, built with Evolutionary Robotics concepts, is tested in a Khepera© robot and analyzed in detail. Finally, behaviour coordination based on the artificial immune system metaphor is evaluated for the same application.
