Abstract

Bio-inspired techniques have been successfully applied to the path-planning problem. Amongst those techniques, Cellular Automata (CA) have been seen a potential alternative due to its decentralized structure and low computational cost. In this work, an improved CA model is implemented and evaluated both in simulation and real environments using the e-puck robot. The objective was to construct a collision-free path plan from the robot initial position to the target position by applying the refined CA model and environment pre-processed images captured during its navigation. The simulations and real experiments show promising results on the model performance for a single robot.
