Path Planning Method for Car-like Mobile Robot

In many applications of autonomous mobile robots,path planning technique determines a sequential discrete path points leading robat to the goal from the start position in the shorteds time.As to mobile robot path planning,a robot path planning technique was proposed in the paper,which utilized basic atomic maneuvers for solving the path planning for car-like mobile robot.Atomic maneuvers technique has the drawback of being very discontinuous.To solve this problem,another technique,smooth path planning was used to geneerate much more continuous paths and therefore an optimal path was obtained for the robot.The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed approach.
