Abstract

The topic of navigation is one of the focused problems in the correlation of autonomous mobile robots. It is necessary to have a methodology to accomplish a collision path of navigation from an initial position (state) to a target position (goal). This paper presents a new method for path planning to determine a feasible, optimal, and safe path. Based on Bacterial Foraging algorithm, we propose an improved algorithm for solving the one-line path planning of mobile robots by choosing the proper objective function for the target, obstacles, and robots collision avoidance. This algorithm finds a path towards the target and avoiding the obstacles using particles, which are randomly distributed, on a determined area around a robot. The criterion on which it selects the best article is the distance to the target. By the proposed approach, the next positions of each robot are designed. © 2018, Int. J. of GEOMATE.
