Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of mobile robot tracking an unpredictably moving target in the presence of obstacles.We suggest a new family of navigation laws that consists of cubic navigation functions. These laws depend on various external parameters that can be used to adjust the robot's path, especially to avoid collision with obstacles. The suggested method allows an easy combination between the global aspects of target tracking and the local aspects of obstacle avoidance. A method is suggested to tune and adjust the parameters of the navigation laws and derive a locally optimal path. The method is illustrated using an extensive simulation.
