Robot path planning based on four Point-EGSOR iterative method

This paper proposed a weighted block technique based on a block of four points known as 4 Point-EGSOR iterative method to solve path planning problem for mobile robot. It is based on the use of Laplace´s equation to represent potential function in the configuration space of the robot. The experiment is carried out by applying finite-difference technique to produce smooth path that is free from local minima creation. The simulation results show that 4 Point-EGSOR method performs faster than the previous method in generating path for mobile robot motion.
