| Resumen |
In the present article, a simulation of a robotics application based on random walk is described. Typically, robots employ navigation algorithms based on planning and adjustments with respect to their working environment. As a specific case for mobile robots with two-dimensional navigation, the navigation algorithm is implemented with the characteristics of a random walk. The route planning module is a stochastic process in which it operates with random numbers following a uniform distribution as input data to the navigation module, and the outputs are movement instructions, both in direction and distance of advance. As a test, a closed scenario is used with 1, 2, and up to 5 robots operating simultaneously. The objective is to cover the area of the scenario. The results include the percentage of visited area, as well as the decision metrics of the stochastic processes involved in navigation. This navigation algorithm is oriented towards applications in service and surveillance robots. © 2023 Little Lion Scientific. |
