Abstract

This paper presents a proposal of obstacle evasion oriented to mobile robots in clustering tasks. For this case, polar coordinates are set for the movement of the mobile, the possible obstacles in the path are determined and imaginary boundaries are generated in each possible obstacle in order to delimit the path of the mobile between them. The algorithm developed under the Netlogo programming environment makes it possible to perform evasion and reach the clustering point efficiently.
