Path planning and obstacle avoidance algorithms are requested for robots working in more
and more complicated environments. Standard methods usually reduce these tasks to the …

Path planning for autonomous mobile robots is an important task within robotics field. It is
common to use one of the two classical approaches in path planning: a global approach …

This paper offers a path planning algorithm based on splines. The sought path avoids the
obstacles, and is smooth and short. Smoothing is used as an integral part of the algorithm …

This paper addresses the path planning problem for autonomous mobile robots operating in
an unknown environment with obstacles. Paths are formed based on third-order Bezier …

This paper presents a constrained Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm for mobile
robot path planning with obstacle avoidance. The optimization problem is analyzed in static …

Robot path planning problem is one of most important task mobile robots. This paper
proposes an original approach using a path description by string of cubic splines. Such path …
