Among the shortcomings of the A* algorithm, for example, there are many search nodes in path planning, and the calculation time is long. This article proposes a three-neighbor search A* algorithm combined with artificial potential fields to optimize the path planning problem of mobile robots. The algorithm integrates and improves the partial artificial potential field and the A* algorithm to address irregular obstacles in the forward direction. The artificial potential field guides the mobile robot to move forward quickly. The A* algorithm of the three-neighbor search method performs accurate obstacle avoidance. The current pose vector of the mobile robot is constructed during obstacle avoidance, the search range is narrowed to less than three neighbors, and repeated searches are avoided. In the matrix laboratory environment, grid maps with different obstacle ratios are compared with the A* algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed improved algorithm avoids concave obstacle traps and shortens the path length, thus reducing the search time and the number of search nodes. The average path length is shortened by 5.58%, the path search time is shortened by 77.05%, and the number of path nodes is reduced by 88.85%. The experimental results fully show that the improved A* algorithm is effective and feasible and can provide optimal results.

SUMMARYA grid-based method for detecting moving objects is presented. This method involves the extension and combination of two methods: (1) the Hough Transform and (2) the Occupancy Grid method. The Occupancy Grid method forms the basis for a probabilistic estimation of the location and velocity of objects in the scene from the sensor data. The Hough Transform enables the new method to handle non-integer velocity values. A model for simulating a sonar ring is also presented. Experimental results show that this method can handle objects moving at non-integer velocities.

In this study, a fuzzy logic controller with the reinforcement improved differential search algorithm (FLC_R-IDS) is proposed for solving a mobile robot wall-following control problem. This study uses the reward and punishment mechanisms of reinforcement learning to train the mobile robot wall-following control. The proposed improved differential search algorithm uses parameter adaptation to adjust the control parameters. To improve the exploration of the algorithm, a change in the number of superorganisms is required as it involves a stopover site. This study uses reinforcement learning to guide the behavior of the robot. When the mobile robot satisfies three reward conditions, it gets reward +1. The accumulated reward value is used to evaluate the controller and to replace the next controller training. Experimental results show that, compared with the traditional differential search algorithm and the chaos differential search algorithm, the average error value of the proposed FLC_R-IDS in the three experimental environments is reduced by 12.44%, 22.54% and 25.98%, respectively. Final, the experimental results also show that the real mobile robot using the proposed method can effectively implement the wall-following control.

Localization is the basis for navigation of mobile robots. This paper focuses on key techniques of localization for mobile robots based on vision. Firstly, the specific measures and steps of the algorithm are analyzed and researched in depth. In the study, SIFT algorithm combined with epipolar geometry constraint is used on the environment feature point detection, matching and tracking. And the method of RANSAC combined with the least squares is used to obtain accurate results of the motion estimation. Then the necessary experiments are carried out to verify the correctness and effectiveness of algorithms. The experimental results verified the accuracy of the improved algorithm.

A Between two line follower stand before the barrier mobile robot is a mobile machine that can detect and follow between two line drawn on the floor. Generally, the path can be white lines on a black surface or it can be black lines on a white surface. Today robot is very important in our life because it can do everything without human intervention, especially for difficult or danger works. Therefore in this research we will going to design robot that able to walk between two lines, and at the same time, this robot can pass the barriers that facing it. We conclude from this that this robot can help in many areas, such as to be a helper in hazardous work or in the transport of materials that are dangerous to human life, Or that this robot be helpful for people with disabilities where carts industry able to navigate seamlessly, also can use this robot in military actions.
