Kadda Mostefaoui, Youcef Dahmani . Modeling of the Reactive Navigation of Autonomous Robot using the Discrete Event System Specification DEVS. International Journal of Computer Applications. 45, 9 ( May 2012), 19-24. DOI=10.5120/6807-9148
Abstract
This paper presents the modeling and simulation of reactive navigation of a mobile robot using the characteristics of discrete event systems (DEVS), which is a young approach in modeling and simulation. The mobility and the autonomy of robots pose complex problems, as regards generation of trajectory in strongly constrained and unstructured spaces, and decision-making based on inaccurate or incomplete information sensors. In this work we propose an architecture based on the DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification) and the theory of fuzzy logic for modeling and simulation of an intelligent agent observing, deciding, acting on a dynamic and uncertain environment in context of the DEVS formalism. This problem is at the border of two areas of research: artificial intelligence (Mobile Robotics) and modeling and simulation.
