description

Abstract Mobile robot perception of the external environment is limited by the features of the used sensor. An useful technique used to improve robot perception is data fusion. This paper presents an approach to build a map of an unknown environment applying fuzzy data fusion methods to data acquired through an ultrasonic sensor. Conditioning of these data and motion control of the mobil robot by fuzzy data fusion are also described. The resulting two dimensional map is used for path planning and navigation. The proposed approach is exrperimentally tested using real distance measures acquired by a 360° rotating sensor.
