Complete coverage path planning of mobile robots for humanitarian demining
Đakulovic, Marija; Petrovic, Ivan - In: Industrial Robot: An International Journal 39 (2012) 5, pp. 484-493
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a path planning algorithm for a non‐circular shaped mobile robot to autonomously navigate in an unknown area for humanitarian demining. For that purpose the path planning problem comes down to planning a path from some starting location to a...
