Fuzzy measure based mobile robot controller for autonomous movement control

This paper proposes a novel fuzzy measure based mobile robot controller design method. We apply this method in a simulation where the movement of a mobile robot along a wall is governed by this controller. The ultrasonic range finder sensors onboard the mobile robot are used to measure the distance between the robot and the wall. The measurement results are recorded as fuzzy measure inputs and the results of the fuzzy measure are used to control the movement of the mobile robot along the wall. Our simulations compare the movements of the mobile robot with and without the fuzzy measure controller. The simulation results show that the mobile robot using the fuzzy measure controller exhibits a more controlled movement behavior than that using a controller without fuzzy measure.
