Collision avoidance with equipment and obstacles is achieved through dynamic safety boundaries and relative speed analysis.
Simulation results show enhanced completeness and safety in fault point searching.
Abstract
Higher requirements have been placed on fault detection for continuously operating machines in modern factories. Manual inspection faces challenges related to timeliness, leading to the emergence of autonomous diagnostic robots. To overcome the safety limitations of existing diagnostic robots in factory environments, a hierarchical fuzzy logic-based navigation and obstacle avoidance algorithm is proposed in this study. The algorithm is constructed based on zero-order Takagi–Sugeno type fuzzy control, comprising subfunctions for navigation, static obstacle avoidance, and dynamic obstacle avoidance. Coordinated navigation and equipment protection are achieved by jointly considering the information of the fault point and surrounding equipment. The concept of a dynamic safety boundary is introduced, wherein the normalized breached level is used to replace the traditional distance-based…
