Characteristics of research conducted in the laboratory:
Research on modeling and motion control of mobile wheeled robots. With particular emphasis on control algorithms based on elements of artificial intelligence (neural networks, fuzzy logic). Motion control includes issues related to the implementation of set motion trajectories by a low-level control system and the issues of generating trajectories of robot motion in an unknown environment with the use of robot sensory systems, e.g. laser space scanners. In addition, the spectrum of research works includes issues related to the control of robot formation that performs a defined task.
