An algorithm that presents the best possible approximation for the theoretical Bézier curve and the real path on which a mobile robot moves in a dynamic environment with mobile obstacles and boundaries is introduced in this paper. The algorithm is tested on a set of scenarios that comprehensively cover critical situations of obstacle avoidance. The selection of scenarios is made by deploying robot navigation performances into constraints and further into descriptive characteristics of the scenarios. Computer-simulated environments are created with dedicated tools (i.e., Gazebo) and modeling and programming technologies (i.e., Robot Operating System (ROS) and Python). It is shown that the proposed algorithm improves the performance of the path for robot navigation in a highly dynamic environment, with dense mobile obstacles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
