Fuzzy logic and autonomous vehicles: Experiments in ultrasonic vision

The opportunities offered by fuzzy logic to build maps for robot navigation are investigated. Characteristics of points of the space (occupied, free, uncertain, etc.) are easily expressed through set theoretical operations. Real-world experiments validate the approach. The experimental set-up is bas...

Description
Summary:The opportunities offered by fuzzy logic to build maps for robot navigation are investigated. Characteristics of points of the space (occupied, free, uncertain, etc.) are easily expressed through set theoretical operations. Real-world experiments validate the approach. The experimental set-up is based on modified Polaroid ultrasonic sensors; however, the approach can be easily extended to incorporate other kinds of sensors.
