Abstract
An obstacle avoidance strategy for mobile robot is presented based on obstacle position and size information. Furthermore, rational robot paths in obstacle avoidance are discussed in detail, which leads to the final important result of optimal path for mobile robot to avoid an obstacle. Simple as the results are, they have been shown by simulations te be effective and convenient in implementation. A good application prospect of the result can thus be expected.
