Path Planning Comparison Strategies for Mobile Robot Navigation

Abstract

Autonomous navigation is an essential application because it allows the robot to perform activities without human interference. It enables the execution of tasks that pose a risk or difficulty to the human being. This material aims to present the research to evaluate the performance of different navigation algorithms. The results obtained in the first phase of the research will be highlighted, in which the A* (A Star) and Dijkstra techniques were evaluated. The robot was integrated into the Robot Operating System (ROS) framework, and the navigations were performed in a labyrinth-like environment.
