SEEKING AND AVOIDING COLLISIONS - A Biologically Plausible Approach

Abstract

The success of an agent model that incorporates a hierarchical structure of needs, required that the needs trigger human-like actions such as collision avoidance. This paper demonstrates a minimalist, “rule-of-thumb” collision avoidance approach that performs well in dynamic, obstacle-cluttered domains. The algorithm relies only on the range, range rate, bearing, and bearing rate of a target perceived by an agent. Computation is minimal and the approach yields a natural behaviour suitable for robotic or computer generated agents in games.
