Abstract :
This paper presents an implementation of a Spline Curve Algorithm in a mobile robot path-planning domain. This method is based on a continuous path mapped between two points. The path can easily be updated and modified as the robot moves. This feature makes the algorithm to be suitable for dynamic control as in the case of multiple mobile robots operating in the same environment in cooperative or competitive manner. The algorithm can be integrated with other planning strategies to improve system performance
