The challenging part of path planning for an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) is to conduct a reactive navigation. Reactive navigation is implemented to the sensor based UGV. The UGV defined the environment by collecting the information to construct it path planning. The UGV in this research is known as Mobile Guard UGV-Truck for Surveillance (MG-TruckS). Modified Virtual Semi Circle (MVSC) helps the MG-TruckS to reach it predetermined goal point successfully without any collision. MVSC is divided into two phases which are obstacles detection phase and obstacles avoidance phase to compute an optimal path planning. MVSC produces shorter path length, smoothness of velocity and reach it predetermined goal point successfully.

There are numerous numbers of methods that have been introduced to the Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) to find its optimal path. The purpose of this paper is to navigate a cost effective UGV known as MG-TruckS with optimal path planning in an outdoor environment. A Modified Virtual Semi Circle approach is proposed based on situated-activity paradigm. This approach is divided into two phase to compute a free collision path planning; detection and avoidance phase. Implementation of five ultrasonic range finder sensors with a very small blind zone created on purpose and the formation of three layers of influence zone shows the optimized path planning without making any unnecessary obstacle avoidance being computed.

Among the huge number of functionalities that are required for autonomous navigation, the most important are localization, mapping, and path planning. In this article, investigation of the path planning problem of unmanned ground vehicle is based on optimal control theory and simultaneous localization and mapping. A new approach of optimal simultaneous localization, mapping, and path planning is proposed. Our approach is mainly affected by vehicle’s kinematics and environment constraints. Simultaneous localization, mapping, and path planning algorithm requires two main stages. First, the simultaneous localization and mapping algorithm depends on the robust smooth variable structure filter estimate accurate positions of the unmanned ground vehicle. Then, an optimal path is planned using the aforementioned positions. The aim of the simultaneous localization, mapping, and path planning algorithm is to find an optimal path planning using the Shooting and Bellman methods which minimizes the final time of the unmanned ground vehicle path tracking. The simultaneous localization, mapping, and path planning algorithm has been approved in simulation, experiments, and including real data employing the mobile robot Pioneer [Formula: see text]. The obtained results using smooth variable structure filter–simultaneous localization and mapping positions and the Bellman approach show path generation improvements in terms of accuracy, smoothness, and continuity compared to extended Kalman filter–simultaneous localization and mapping positions.
