Remote Control Method and System for Mobile Robots Using Fuzzy Obstacle Avoidance Technology

This technology is a fuzzy logic-based control mechanism that calculates autonomous driving control values by combining positive fuzzy rules for target tracking with negative fuzzy rules for obstacle avoidance. It determines the optimal movement direction (avoidance angle) by applying Gaussian membership functions to obstacle location data detected by ultrasonic sensors and target point information input from a controller.

Conventional remote robot control systems rely on manual user operation, posing a high risk of collision if obstacles are not detected. Furthermore, the lack of integrated autonomous avoidance control technology reduces the reliability of remote operation.

This technology configures a control system that uses the distance and angle between the robot and the target point, as well as the robot and obstacles, as input variables. It applies positive and negative rules respectively, derives the fitness of each input fuzzy set based on mathematical formulas, and calculates the final movement avoidance angle through the computation of output fuzzy set fitness including additive offsets. Applicable to rehabilitation training, gait assistance, and medical/welfare services, it enables self-regulated obstacle avoidance, thereby enhancing the reliability of remote control in robot navigation.

Key Features:
  • A step of configuring first output fuzzy sets by applying first input fuzzy sets based on the angle between the robot and the target point, and second input fuzzy sets based on the distance between the robot and the target point, to positive rules during remote-controlled robot navigation.
  • A step of configuring second output fuzzy sets by applying third input fuzzy sets based on the angle between the robot and obstacles, and fourth input fuzzy sets based on the distance between the robot and obstacles, obtained using ultrasonic sensors installed on the robot, to negative rules.
  • A step of calculating the fitness for the first output fuzzy sets using the fitness for the first through fourth input fuzzy sets.
  • represents the fitness of the input fuzzy set, =L, S, R, Z, N, F, .

This invention was developed with support from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology's Biomimetic Robot Technology Development program.
