Obstacle Avoidance and Target Tracking Mobile Robot

Robotics, a vast emerging field, spreads across diverse applications, has been an area attracting maximum research. A robot needs a reference for locomotion. It uses both obstacle avoidance and target tracking as references in our application. Obstacle avoidance is characterized to detect and avoid the obstacle from its way. In this paper a Laser based approach is used to detect the obstacle in the known environment and a proportional control strategy is used to control the mobile robot. The technique is simulated using MATLAB and simulated results show the validity of proposed technique.
