Hi, 

I am currently using th DaNi Robotics starter kit 1.0 as a vehicle to carry a laser scanner. Basically, I want the robot 

to be able to map its suroundings using data obtained from the ultrasonic sensor and to then use this inormation to identify the 

position of obstacles. Fom this, I then want the robot to obtain the best path between these obstacles and to carry on following this 

path. I have seen a number of example systems using A*, AD*, voronoi maps etc and was wondering what the best strategy might be? 

I have never used Labview before now, so any advice or example VI's that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards

Douglas

Hi Douglas

The best place to start will be by searching the community and the forums here for similar applications and examples.

There's also a nice study entitled Mobile Robotics Experiments with DaNI which includes obstacle avoidance and detection (See experiments 5-4 and 5-5)

Kind Regards
