Case Study II:<br />

Realization of<br />

Cognition for<br />

Mobile Robots<br />

This is an applied chapter that demonstrates the scope of realization of the<br />

philosophical models of cognition on a mobile robot. A mobile robot has to<br />

generate a navigational plan in a given environment between pre-defined<br />

starting <strong>and</strong> goal points. The robot’s environment includes many obstacles<br />

<strong>and</strong> thus finding the shortest path without touching the obstacles in many<br />

cases is an extremely complex problem. The complexity of the problem<br />

increases further, when the obstacles are dynamic <strong>and</strong> there exists many<br />

spatial constraints for the movement of the robots. The chapter considers the<br />

problems of navigational planning for both static <strong>and</strong> dynamic environments.<br />

It outlines the existing tools <strong>and</strong> techniques, currently available for h<strong>and</strong>ling<br />

these problems, <strong>and</strong> illustrates the scope of the soft computing tools through<br />

computer simulations for application in this domain.
