Abstract

For any mobile device, the ability to move smoothly in its environment is of the ultimate importance, which rationalizes the persistent work of researchers to find new technologies to achieve this target. In this work, we briefly describe the tough work done for designing a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) for the reacting behaviour in a mobile robot, namely “go-to goal" problem. This new technology allows optimal planning of movement in terms of path length and travel time; it is intended to achieve the shortest path followed by a mobile robot. The efficiency of the proposed motion control unit is checked against the results of other smart methods; its features make it an effective alternative way to solve the go-to goal problem for the mobile robot.
