Fuzzy Logic Control Based Navigation Research for Mine Rescue Robot in Unknown Environments

Abstract:

This paper proposes the research significance of mine rescue robot which can assist rescuers to enter into the disaster site, and can use its own merits to explore the environments and to reach the location of the trapped workers quickly. It reduces the danger of accidents, and improves aid efficiency. This paper summarizes the status of mine rescue robot, and compares with commonly used external sensors. Ultrasonic ranging sensors are selected as part of the ranging system. In addition, navigation research for mine robot is the key in this paper. According to the features of robots working environments which is unknown and uncertain, fuzzy logic control, a simple robustness navigation controlling algorithm with fault toleration, is selected to achieve navigation mission. The experimental results show that it achieves the desired effect.
