Abstract
A path-finding mobile robot, controlled by one 8-bit microprocessor (MC 6808) and one ultrasonic sensor, has been constructed and demonstrated. All the robot (ETW/ETS-18 HERO 1) has to do is to find a correct path according to the instruction given by an operator. A corridor in the university building is used as the experimental course. There exist several crossing points. The instruction to the mobile robot is a finite combination of fuzzy distance, shape of the crossing point, and the direction to go ahead. The robot finds the correct way based on a fuzzy matching between the instructed fuzzy information and the observed fuzzy data. The maximum total distance from the starting point to the goal is about 1 kilometer (because of the battery limitation).
