Abstract:
Abstract—Robots are one of the most useful tools created by humans, which can replace humans for tasks such as exploration and search and rescue. In daily life, people often encounter fires. By using robots for firefighting work, the damage of fires to firefighters can be greatly reduced. We proposed a 2D simulation environment to test the functionalities of robots, using artificial potential field method to avoid obstacles. At the same time, the algorithm is combined with the actual robot, and the test will be carried out after updating the control system of e-puck2.
