Title
Mobile robot path planning for fine-grained and smooth path spcification
Abstract
This article introduces and draws a comparison on B-splines and clothoids for generating fine-grained, smooth path specifications as applied to mobile robot path planning. At one level, a sequence of objective points that the robot must attain to avoid obstacles and to progress toward its goal are supplied by a coarse path planner. Using B-spline and clothoid curves, these objective points are converted into a path of finer detail, as requisite to a robot driving controller/tracker. Through experimental results with the NavlabII, a mobile robot vehicle at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), we differentiate the advantages of this approach over conventional poly-line fit/round corner used to date.
