Path Planning of Cooperative Mobile Robots Using Discrete Event Models

Offers an integrated presentation for path planning and motion control of cooperative mobile robots using discrete-event system principles

Generating feasible paths or routes between a given starting position and a goal or target position—while avoiding obstacles—is a common issue for all mobile robots. This book formulates the problem of path planning of cooperative mobile robots by using the paradigm of discrete-event systems. It presents everything readers need to know about discrete event system models—mainly Finite State Automata (FSA) and Petri Nets (PN)—and methods for... Next
