“…The research on wheeled mobile robot navigation with obstacle avoidance has gained a great deal of interest over the past few years. Mobile robots have been used to solve different encountered problems and replace, augment or support human activities in several indoor or outdoor applications, such as factory and mining automation, 40 home and office assistance, 14 interactive guide system in museums, 16 search and rescue operations, 48 exploration in hazardous environments, 20 and military systems 47 . In all of these applications since the safety of the mobile robot and the people around are of prime importance, the robot should be equipped with a navigation system which combines a guidance strategy that guides the robot toward a target, with a collision avoidance technique, which leads the robot safely around an obstacle.…”
