Abstract

The topic related to dynamic autonomous navigation in complex environments has become more popular in the robotics research area. It is very crucial for mobile robotics to have automatic obstacle avoidance and path planning. Traditional methods, such as simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technology, for instance, typically rely on sensors such as cameras, LiDAR, and ultrasonic sensors, in order to accomplish local obstacle avoidance. While these approaches demonstrate high reliability, they may be constrained by limitations in flexibility, detection efficiency, and real-time performance. In recent years, numerous emerging technologies about artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning are introduced and applied in related aspects. By combining those state-of-the-art techniques and machine vision, the capabilities of perception and motion decision making for robotics are dramatically enhanced. In this article, the application of deep learning models, such as convolutional neural networks, to the problem of path planning, including obstacle avoidance algorithms of mobile robots will be mainly discussed. Key issues and challenges in current research and potential solutions along with future development trends will be determined at the end.
