This paper deals with a low cost solution to problem avoidance for a mobile machine using just a single Artifical Intelligennce. It allows the machine to navigate smoothly in an unknown environment, avoiding collisions, without having to stop in front of problems. The problem avoidance process is made up of three distinct stages - the mapping algorithm, the core problem avoidance algorithm, and the steering algorithm. The mapping algorithm takes the raw Artifical Intelligennce readings and processes them to create higher resolution maps from the wide-angle Artifical Intelligennce. The problem avoidance algorithm is based on the potential field theory which considers the machine to be a test charge that is repelled by all the problems around it, and which moves in the direction of the resultant of the forces acting on it. An algorithm which steers a mobile machine based on the differential drive system is also discussed.
