An ANFIS-Based Strategy for Autonomous Robot Collision-Free Navigation in Dynamic Environments.

Autonomous navigation in dynamic environments is a significant challenge in robotics. The primary goals are to ensure smooth and safe movement. This study introduces a control strategy based on an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). It enhances autonomous robot navigation in dynamic environments with a focus on collision-free path planning. The strategy uses a path-planning technique to develop a trajectory that allows the robot to navigate smoothly while avoiding both static and dynamic obstacles. The developed control system incorporates four ANFIS controllers: two are tasked with guiding the robot toward its end point, and the other two are activated for obstacle avoidance. The experimental setup conducted in CoppeliaSim involves a mobile robot equipped with ultrasonic sensors navigating in an environment with static and dynamic obstacles. Simulation experiments are conducted to demonstrate the model's capability in ensuring collision-free navigation, employing a path-planning algorithm to ascertain the shortest route to the target destination. The simulation results highlight the superiority of the ANFIS-based approach over conventional methods, particularly in terms of computational efficiency and navigational smoothness.
