Abstract

We propose a new type of artificial potential field, that we call hybrid potential field, to navigate a robot in situations in which the environment is known except for unknown and possibly moving obstacles. We show how to compute hybrid potential fields in real time and use them to control the motions of a real robot. Our method is tested on both a simulated robot and a real one. We show extensive simulation results with up to 50 randomly moving obstacles. We present a feature matching approach for error position correction that we have validated experimentally with our mobile robot.
