Controlling the Motion of an Autonomous Mobile Robot Using Various Techniques: a Review

Autonomous navigation of mobile robots in an uncertain and complex environment is a broad and complicated issue due to a variety of obstacles that mobile robots have to detect and represent in their maps to navigate safely. The objective of the navigation-mobile robot is to obtain an optimum path, meaning that the robot should plan a reliable path between the source point and the target point without colliding with the static and dynamic obstacles found in an uncertain and complex environment. Several efficient techniques have been developed by researchers in the motion planning of mobile robots. This paper presents detailed analysis of various techniques used in the autonomous navigation of mobile robot.
