    Abstract

    Different designs of fuzzy control schemes for intelligent mobile robots are presented. The application of fuzzy concepts directly to spatial representations are discussed to guide inferences based on sensed spatial parameters. Exploratory mobile robots are investigated and a series of experiments on a Nomad 200 robot is performed using a software simulator. A fuzzy model for distance, alignment and sensing aperture is proposed to interpret ultrasonic sensor data collected with varying degrees of noise. Wall-following is used as an example exploratory task and a non-fuzzy strategy is used to control and to collect reference data. The design and implementation of a fuzzy map follower is discussed.
