✦ Synopsis

This paper describes the development and implementation of a real-time navigation and obstacle avoidance method based on grids on the THMR-2 mobile robot. This method permits the detection of unknown obstacles and the avoidance of collisions, based on information received from ultrasonic sensors, while autonomously steering the mobile robot towards the given target by a smooth and continuous motion. Experimental results are given in some typical environments. The strength of the method has been demonstrated.
