Abstract Mobile Robots (MRs) and their applications are undergoing massive development,
requiring a diversity of autonomous or self-directed robots to fulfill numerous objectives and …

The aim of this paper is to provide a global overview of mobile robot control and navigation
methodologies developed over the last decades. Mobile robots have been a substantial …

We study the problem of automatic generation of smooth and obstacle-avoiding planar paths
for efficient guidance of autonomous mining vehicles. Fast traversal of a path is of special …

This brief presents the real-time dynamic Dubins-Helix (RDDH) method for trajectory
smoothing, which consists of Dubins-Helix trajectory generation and pitch angle smoothing …

We consider a problem of trajectory planning for mobile robot in a two-dimensional plane. In
particular, we develop a method for constructing trajectories with the curvature satisfying …

In this study, image processing was combined with path-planning object-avoidance
technology to determine the shortest path to the destination. The content of this article …

In this work, ultrasonic sensors are adopted to implement a real-time obstacle avoidance
system for wheeled robots, so that the robot can continually detect surroundings, avoid …

This paper presents Tiji, a trajectory generation scheme, ie an algorithm that computes a
feasible trajectory between a start and a goal state, for a given robotic system. Tiji is geared …

In this paper we apply the composite η3 splines to collision-free curvature-derivative
continuous shorter path planning of wheeled mobile robots, modelled as unicycle, within …

The efficient design of departure and arrival routes in the airspace surrounding airports,
called the terminal maneuvering area, is crucial for increasing the capacity of such areas …
