Abstract

Potential field method is a universal method in obstacle avoidance applications for mobile robots. This method is particularly attractive because of its elegance and efficiency for obstacle avoidance. Other methods such as Bug algorithm, dynamic
window approach are also presented in this paper. Simulation results on Player/Stage (run on Linux) show that the potential field methods are very efficient for local obstacle avoidance and navigation.
