Development of an Autonomous Mobile Robot with Several Sensors using Neuro‐Fuzzy Control Based on Server/Client Model

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to detail the development of an autonomous mobile robot and a control support system. The robot has five infrared sensors and three ultrasonic sensors to enable it to follow a ' guide person' with an infrared ray transmitter. The robot will follow the infrared rays emitted by a transmitter with the guide person, and move to the destination. The control system has been developed by the network technology based on server/client model. The advanced control strategy for the autonomous mobile robot is carried out with a high-speed host server computer connected through the TCP/IP network. Therefore, it is enough for the CPU of the robot to be of low speed. In this paper, the autonomous mobile robot system and the control system using the server/client model are described. 
