Question 13
A robot is to move to a (x,y) location of (10.6, 12.1). Objects are located at (4.4, 0) and (0, 2.4). The
potential field method is to be used to determine instantaneous velocity. For this, use a goal attraction
factor of 0.14 multiplied by distance to goal and an object repulsion factor of 1/(distance).
All coordinates are given with respect to the robot's frame of reference in metres. Robots and objects can be
considered as point sources.
