Abstract

In this paper, we present an infrared sensors aided map building method for mobile robot using genetic algorithm and fuzzy logic. Existing Bayesian update model using ultrasonic sensors only has a problem of the quality of map being degraded in the wall with irregularity which is caused by the wide beam width of sonar waves and Gaussian probability distribution. In order to solve this problem we propose an improved method of map building using supplementary infrared sensors. In the method, wide beam width of sonar waves is divided by infrared sensors and probability is distributed according to infrared sensors' information using fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm.
