Robotic navigation in the presence of static and dynamic obstacles

Abstract

The design of an automatic responsive robot depends on computer vision by virtue of which it can localize itself in the environment and act according to the changing nature of the environment variables. In this work an autonomous vehicle for urban roads is designed, which can navigate to a specified location. The navigation is based on the path analysis using image processing and global positioning system. The proposed system not only guides itself from source to destination but also avoids obstacles of both static and dynamic nature. It can also be controlled manually with the help of wireless control.
