A versatile autonomous navigation algorithm for smart indoor environment using FPGA based robot

Abstract

The Robotic Assistive System (RAS) is playing a vital role in assisting human needs. In robotics, navigation system is mostly preferred to solve Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) to serve in an indoor environment. The proposed versatile navigation algorithm is hardware efficient to perform in a smart environment which is confined with different static and dynamic (human movement) objects. This proposed approach is novel in terms of serving for multi node scenario by using the triangulation techniques for efficient navigation in an indoor environment without landmarks. This navigation algorithm digital hardware scheme is coded in Verilog 2001 and implemented on FPGA based robots in the real time scenario.
