Human-computer cooperative mobile robot control with learning functions

Abstract

This paper presents a method for human-computer cooperative control of a mobile robot, where the system supports some cooperative actions between manual and automatic modes. The simplified fuzzy reasoning is applied to avoid the obstacles so that the skilled technique of human operator can be assimilated into the computer operation. The method proven by some actual trials in a PWS mobile robot, realizes efficiencies in the operation of a mobile robot with simplicity of commands and flexibility of skilled human operator.
