Abstract

The obstacle avoidance problem has been a well researched topic by many robotics researchers. We focus on one popular solution to this problem, the Curvature-Velocity Method(CVM). In Simmons' original paper [1], differentially steered (DS) robots where not considered thoroughly. This paper presents a variation on CVM, specifically designed for DS robots. We show comparable results to that of Simmons and our extensions are discussed.
