AbstractA novel approach based on particle swarm optimization has been presented in this paper for solving mobile robot navigation task. The proposed technique tries to optimize the path generated by an intelligent mobile robot from its source position to destination position in its work space. For solving this problem, a new fitness function has been modelled, which satisfies the obstacle avoidance and optimal path traversal conditions. From the obtained fitness values of each particle in the swarm, the robot moves towards the particle which is having optimal fitness value. Simulation results are provided to validate the feasibility of the developed methodology in various unknown environments.

In this article a new optimal path planner for mobile robot navigation based on invasive weed optimization (IWO) algorithm has been addressed. This ecologically inspired algorithm is based on the colonizing property of weeds and distribution. A new fitness function has been formed between robot to goal and obstacles, which satisfied the conditions of both obstacle avoidance and target seeking behavior in robot present in the environment. Depending on the fitness function value of each weed in the colony the robot that avoids obstacles and navigating towards goal. The optimal path is generated with this developed algorithm when the robot reaches its destination. The effectiveness, feasibility, and robustness of the proposed navigational algorithm has been performed through a series of simulation and experimental results. The results obtained from the proposed algorithm has been also compared with other intelligent algorithms (Bacteria foraging algorithm and Genetic algorithm) to show the adaptability of the developed navigational method. Finally, it has been concluded that the proposed path planning algorithm can be effectively implemented in any kind of complex environments.

An autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) is a machine able to extract information from its environment and move in a meaningful and purposeful manner. Robot Navigation and Obstacle avoidance are the most important problems in mobile robots. In the past, a number of soft computing algorithms have been designed by many researchers for robot navigation problems but very few are actually implementable because they haven’t considered robot size as parameter. This paper presents software simulation and hardware implementation of navigation of a mobile robot avoiding obstacles and selecting optimal path in a static environment using evolution based Genetic algorithms with robot size as a parameter in fitness function.

The control of autonomous mobile robot in an unknown environments include many challenge. Fuzzy logic controller is one of the useful tool in this field. Performance of fuzzy logic controlling depends on the membership function, so the membership function adjusting is a time consuming process. In this paper, we optimized a fuzzy logic controller (Fuzzy) by automatic adjusting the membership function using a particle swarm optimization (PSO). The proposed method (PSO-Fuzzy) is implemented and compared with Fuzzy using Khepera simulator. Moreover, the performance of these approaches compared through experiments using a real Khepera III platform.

Autonomous mobile robots require an efficient navigation system in order to navigate from one location to another location fast and safe without hitting static or dynamic obstacles. A light-detection-and-ranging (LiDAR) based autonomous robot navigation is a multi-component navigation system consists of various parameters to be configured. With such structure and sometimes involving conflicting parameters, the process of determining the best configuration for the system is a non-trivial task. This work presents an optimisation method using Genetic algorithm (GA) to configure such navigation system with tuned parameters automatically. The proposed method can optimise parameters of a few components in a navigation system concurrently. The representation of chromosome and fitness function of GA for this specific robotic problem are discussed. The experimental results from simulation and real hardware show that the optimised navigation system outperforms a manually-tuned navigation system of an indoor mobile robot in terms of navigation time.
