Neural network developed for obstacle avoidance of the four wheeled electric vehicle

Several solutions have been proposed for vehicle navigation in unknown environments to ensure safer driving by avoiding obstacles and collisions. In this work, an electric vehicle equipped with Mecanum 4 omnidirectional holonomic wheels, analog joystick to control driving movement, LiDAR sensors and Wi-Fi able to detect obstacles is investigated based on neural network approach. By experimental tests conducted to avoid collisions by detecting the presence of obstacles, the relation between the resistance distance and speed is described by the artificial neural network.
