Abstract

This paper presents a mobile agents approach of searching robots in a virtual reality environment. The robots are pro grammed to perform objects searching in a virtual environ ment. A robot is defined as an autonomous agent (car-like robot) equipped with software (mobile agent) and sensors. When the required object is found, the mobile agent an nounce the end of the searching, and the robots return to the base. The interaction between the robot and the virtual reality environment is simulated, and the motion planning with obstacle avoidance (collision free) implemented and visualized.
