Implementation of Collision Avoidance Using Modification of the Expanded Guide Circle for Tele-Operated Robots

Abstract:

Even for a tele-operated robot system, collision avoidance should be performed with some level of autonomy because of the mistake of tele-operators. In this paper, we suggest a simple but efficient method of collision avoidance. This suggestion complements the Expanded Guide Circle algorithm and can be used to give correct moving commands to a robot. Also we implement this method in a complex environment and show the usefulness of our algorithm.
