Researchers at the University of South Australia have written a computational algorithm that allows mobile robots to navigate obstacles, finding the quickest path to their destination.
UniSA mechatronics engineering lecturer Dr Habib Habibullah and his colleagues have developed an improved algorithm to help mobile robots avoid hittin.
