The model of the mobile robot has two driving wheels and the azimuth and velocity are dependently controlled by two PID controllers. The PID controller is one of the earliest and famous industrial controllers. It has many advantages: It is economic, simple easy to be tuned and robu.~t. The tuning of these controllers is governed by system nonlinearities and continuous parameter variations. lbis paper deals with the optimal design of a PID controller for path tracking of mobile robot by using genetic algorithms (GA). The designed controller is tested for different paths.
Obstacle avoidance and path planning are from the most important problems in mobile robots, especially in unknown environment . In this paper, we proposed an approach for mobile robot navigation combining path planning and obstacle avoidance. Methods such as obstacle avoidance are inspired from the nature, and have been developed by fuzzy logic to train an intelligent robot in unknown environment. The model of the robot has two driving wheels and the linear velocity and azimuth of the two wheels are independently controlled using PID controller. Inputs are obtained from ultrasonic sensors mounted on it.
