ABSTRACT:
Curv1, a robot navigation algorithm, was developed to guide a robot to the target in an unknown environment with a single non self-intersecting guide track. In this paper, we expand Curv1 in four different ways. Firstly, self-intersecting track is explored and a new algorithm Curv2 is developed to guarantee termination. Secondly, the question of whether or not Curv1 is the only algorithm capable of guiding the robot is addressed. Thirdly, dynamic obstacles are considered. These obstacles can come and go during the robot’s journey. Lastly, multiple start/target pairs and multiple trails are considered. A new algorithm Curv3 is developed to uniquely match start/targets.
