AbstractThis paper presents the results of an experimental verification of mobile robot control algorithm including obstacle detection and avoidance. The controller is based on the navigation potential function that was proposed in work (Urakubo, Nonlinear Dyn. 81(3), 1475–1487 2015). Conducted experiments considered the task of reaching and stabilization of robot in point. The navigation potential agregates information of robot position and orientation but also the repelling potentials of obstacles. The obstacle detection is performed solely with the use of laser scanner. The experiments show that the method can easily handle environments with one or two obstacles even if they instantly hide or show-up due to the scanner range limits. The experiments also indicate that the utilized control method has a good potential for being used in parallel parking task.

In the recent years, indoor modelling and navigation has become a research of interest because many stakeholders require navigation assistance in various application scenarios. The navigational assistance for blind or wheelchair people, building crisis management such as fire protection, augmented reality for gaming, tourism or training emergency assistance units are just some of the direct applications of indoor modelling and navigation. <br><br> Navigational information is traditionally extracted from 2D drawings or layouts. Real state of indoors, including opening position and geometry for both windows and doors, and the presence of obstacles is commonly ignored. <br><br> In this work, a real indoor-path planning methodology based on 3D point clouds is developed. The value and originality of the approach consist on considering point clouds not only for reconstructing semantically-rich 3D indoor models, but also for detecting potential obstacles in the route planning and using these for readapting the routes according to the real state of the indoor depictured by the laser scanner.
