Abstract

The mobile robot is an intelligent device that can achieve many tasks in life. For autonomous, navigation based on the line on the ground is often used because it helps the robot to move along a predefined path, simplifies the path planning, and reduces the computational load. This paper presents a method for navigating the four-wheel mobile robot to track a line based on a deep Q-network as a control algorithm to desire the action of the mobile robot and a camera as a feedback sensor to detect the line. The control algorithm uses a convolution neural network (CNN) to generate the mobile robot action, defined as an agent of deep Q-network. CNN uses images from the camera to define the state of the deep Q network. The simulations are performed based on Gazebo software which includes a 3D environment, mobile robot model, line, and Python programming. The results demonstrate the high-performance tracking of mobile robots with complex line trajectories, achieving errors of less than 100 px, which is compared with the traditional vision method (VNS), the MSE of the proposal method is 0.0264 lower than VNS with 0.0406. Showcases proved convincingly that effectiveness suggested a control approach.
