Robot path planning based on four Point-EGSOR iterative method

This paper proposed a weighted block technique based on a block of four points known as 4 Point-EGSOR iterative method to solve path planning problem for mobile robot. It is based on the use of Laplace's equation to represent potential function in the configuration space of the robot. The experiment is carried out by applying finite-difference technique to produce smooth path that is free from local minima creation. The simulation results show that 4 Point-EGSOR method performs faster than the previous method in generating path for mobile robot motion.
