Method of Mobile Robot Navigation for Positioning on the Road in Forest Area

Abstract

The article is devoted to the method of processing data from a laser scanner for solving a navigation problem when a mobile robot moves along a road on rough and wooded terrain, as well as the task of avoiding obstacles. A comparative analysis of methods for solving these problems. It is shown that the proposed method allows not only to solve the problem of fast and efficient identification of the road boundaries when a mobile robot moves across rough and wooded areas, but also to identify the presence of an obstacle along the way and distance to it.
