Abstract

In this paper, an idea of intelligent path planning was introduced. Using information received from a server that is transmitted through a wireless communication, the data is processed to edit a provided topological map, with which a shortest path calculation will be executed. Information about the destination and blocked road parts is sent to a mobile robot using a wireless ad hoc network communication. The mobile robot will process this information in a topological 2D-array map and ignore the blocked parts of the road for the shortest path calculation based on Dijkstra’s algorithm. Aside from the intelligent path planning, an automated driving algorithm was also implemented using infra-red sensors installed on the mobile robot to navigate the robot to its destination.
