Abstract

This paper proposes a hybrid approach based on limit-cycles method and fuzzy logic controller for the problem of obstacle avoidance of mobile robots in unknown environment. The purpose of hybridization consists on the improvement of basic limit-cycle method in order to obtain safe and ﬂexible navigation. The proposed algorithm has been successfully tested in different conﬁgurations on simulation.
