Abstract
We have been proposing vibrating potential method (VPM) as a new mathematical model for an intelligent robotic system that can solve various engineering problems. In the VPM, an information field as energy field is defined and multi-agents can observe and communicate each other through the field. The agents can move on the field by getting the energy from the field. Then, each robotic agent can execute position-control by local-area sensoring and path planning by detecting global information from the field. In this paper, a new robotic system is introduced as a mathematical model using the VPM. First, the concepts of the VPM are introduced. Next, a mathematical model of robotic system is defined by the VPM. Then find-path problem of autonomous robots on the system is discussed. Finally, computer simulations of the dynamic find-path process are shown.
