Abstract

This work presents an implementation of the Emmy II Autonomous Mobile Robot [1–3] control system in a new hardware structure. The main objective of this robot is to avoid reaching any obstacle in a non-structured environment. The control system is based on the Paraconsistent Annotated Evidential Logic—Eτ. In this work, it is also detailed the mechanical platform used in the robot and the tests performed.
