Abstract

The principal aim of this study was to show how an autonomous mobile robot can acquire the optimal action to avoid moving multiobstacles through interaction with the real world. In this paper, we propose a new architecture using hierarchical fuzzy rules, a fuzzy evaluation system, and learning automata. By using our proposed method, the robot autonomously acquires finely tuned behavior which allows it to move to its goal and avoid moving obstacles by using the steering and velocity control inputs simultaneously. We also show experimental results which confirm the feasibility of our method.
