An Obstacle Detection and Avoidance System for Mobile Robot with a Laser Radar

Abstract

In this paper, an obstacle detection and avoidance system based on laser radar for mobile robots is established, and a new integrated improved algorithm is proposed. The system is composed of industrial computer, laser radar and mobile robot. The laser radar is mounted on the mobile robot, and the environmental information in front of the mobile robot is obtained through the laser radar and sent to the industrial computer. Set the scrolling window in front of the laser radar and layer the scrolling window to adopt different control strategies for different levels of obstacles. The experimental results show that the system can effectively detect and avoid obstacles.
