STUDY OF BEHAVIOUR-BASED NAVIGATION FOR INDOOR MOBILE ROBOT

An indoor mobile robot having autonomous navigation can move along unknown path
by using sensors input in an indoor environment. In this project, we are studying
algorithms for beahviour-based navigation in a maze-like structure in an indoor
environment where robot will move from point A to point B in the maze
autonomously. We are studying three beahviours for autonomous navigation systems
namely; Wall following, Obstacle avoidance and Goal seeking. We are building
Arduino based robot with Ultrasonic sensors. When autonomously driven, it will be
capable of detecting obstacles and finding its on way to move towards the goal. In the
next phase of the project, we will be building indoor mobile robot by installation of all
components, designing of beahviour-based algorithms, circuit designing, several
rounds of testing in indoor maze-like structure to study three selected beahviours of
autonomous navigation.
