Abstract

Navigation and automatic map generation are critical in robotics. This paper presents a map generation and navigation algorithm using constraint Delaunay triangulation. A local map around a robot is generated and global map of the environment is updated in real-time using the sensor data collected by the robot. Applying Minkowski sum a collision-free path is created to guide the robot moving toward its objective. Experimental results are shown in the paper to present the accuracy of generated maps.
