Path planning and Navigation of VirtualMe in an unknown environment

Path planning associated with a mobile robot is the determination of a path that the robot must take to reach a goal from its starting position. Furthermore, the path must be collision free and must optimize a performance criterion. In particular, path planning in an unknown environment handles the scenario where the mobile robot must detect the environment using its sensors. Once the obstacles are detected the path planning algorithm is used to determine the path. The algorithm used for the current research is the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO).
