Abstract:A vector field navigation system was shown to avoid dynamic obstacles and reach a goal with a prespecified position and heading using a simulated Ackerman vehicle. The navigation system was divided into two distinct vector fields, an environmental field which was created for goal oriented navigation and obstacle field which was designed for obstacle avoidance. Discussed in this paper were the methods of obstacle avoidance and combining the two fields of the navigation system. The obstacle avoidance method crea… Show more
