I. Introduction
The Navigation is an area of study that concentrates on the process of detecting and controlling the
motion of a vehicle from one place to another. The area of navigation includes the four basics categories such as
aeronautic navigation, marine navigation, space Navigation and land navigation. Locating the Navigator's
position compared to known locations or patterns includes in navigational techniques. ]Robot navigation means
the robot's talent to figure out its own position in its reference frame and design a path for the goal location.
Navigation is basically consisting of the three basic aptitudes: Self-localization, Path planning, Map-
construction. Self-localization indicates the robot's capacity to confirm its own position and orientation within
the reference frame. Path planning is efficiently denotation of localization, in that it requires the determination
of the robot's present position and a position of a goal location, both within the same coordinates. Map
construction can be in the status of a metric map or any symbols describing locations in the robot frame of
reference. As long as we see Robot navigation has been a ground laying goal in both computer vision research
and robotics. While the problem is largely solved for robots furnished with an active range-ﬁnding device, for a
variety of reasons.Vision is an attractive sensor as it helps in the design of economically possible systems with
simpler sensor limitations. Different sensors are used in conventional robot navigation systems, utilizing
traditional sensor there are several drawbacks related to physical limitations of the sensor. Vision sensing has
come forth as a popular choice where cameras can be used to minimize the overall cost and maintaining high
degree of intelligence, robustness and flexibility. Robot navigation classified in to two parts:[5]5 Indoor
navigation Outdoor navigation Indoor navigation is more complex as against the outdoor navigation. Because,
indoor navigation has to deal with more dimensions (multiple floors of building), needs more level of detail to
understand enclosing area around navigating subject or object, and has to consider the context of navigation for
accurate sub spacing results. Keeping in view the complexity of indoor navigation we have to find solutions for
applications (e.g., route planning) of indoor navigation that must take into consideration of the context of
navigation and be more level of detail to have accurate and consistent results for users.The proposed
methodology will use the color image acquired by the single camera module, which is stored in database. Then
the image is converted in to gray image by image processing technique. And using Adaptive fuzzy tracking
controller the reference path for the navigation of robot will be calculated. The Procedure to reach the
Destination is Time Consuming.[2] Hence the Reseach work is to reduce the time Consumption using PSO.
Directing the robot to the Destination is another major Task to be fullfilled as the path would consist of several
Obstacle ,consider images stored in Database.[3] One of the image is consider from the Database. It Is Difficult
to Controller work on RGB level. Therefore it is needed to convert in gray level image.
Then that gray image is fed to controller. It will calculate shortest path and Time required. Whatever
time is needed to complete this simulation is reduce by applying PSO Technique. Working of Adaptive
Tracking Fuzzy Controller (ATFC) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is discussed below.

II. Design Approach
Controllers which are based upon Fuzzy logic are adept control systems that fluently insinuate between
rules. Rules fire to continuous degrees and the multiple resultant actions are mixed into an insinuate result.
Processing of uncertain information and savings of energy using common-sense rules and natural language
statements are the bases for fuzzy logic control. Fuzzy controller rule-bases typically consist of form of a set of
if-then rules whose preceding (“if” parts) and following (“then” parts) are proportionally involve fuzzy
membership functions. If X is input and Y is output assumed in a given discussion of a fuzzy controller with a
rule-base of size n, then „if-then‟ rule as follows:
IF x is ˜Ai THEN y is ˜Bi Where, x and y are respective input and output fuzzy real variables, and ˜Ai
€X and ˜Bi €Y (1 ≤ i ≤ n) are fuzzy sets representing exact values of x and y.A fuzzy controller or model uses
fuzzy rules, which are linguistic if-then statements involving fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic, and fuzzy inference. Fuzzy
rules play a key role in representing expert control/modeling knowledge and experience and in linking the input
variables of fuzzy controllers/models to output variable (or variables). Two major types of fuzzy rules exist,
namely, Mamdani fuzzy rules and Takagi-Sugeno (TS, for short) fuzzy rules. Let‟s start with the familiar
Mamdani fuzzy systems. Out of these two here we are using Takagi-Sugeno for monitoring the Working of
controller as shown in below.
Figure No -1 Flow Chart of Adaptive fuzzy controllers
The fuzzy controller here Where; A-Away, N-Near, NS-Nearest Robot is considered as X.Our purpose
is to design a FLC able to guide a robot in its navigation in an environment from a start position to a goal zone.
So for this reason we adopted the following fuzzy logic system: In the Fuzzification, the inputs variables of our
FLC are dl, dc, dr, dLr, dLl and _; where: dl, dc and dr: are respectively the distances to the nearest obstacles in
the left, the center and the right sides of the robot, dLr, dLl: are respectively the distances to the nearest
obstacles in the lateral right and lateral left sides of the robot and a: is the angle value between the robot
direction and the target position.
The variation range of variables dl, dc and dr is [0, 10] in centimeters; 0 cm means that the obstacle is
very near and a collision may be happen, 10 cm means that the obstacle is very far. Each of those three variables
are represented by two trapezoidal Mfs: Near and Far. Whereas values of dLr and dLl are either 0 or 1
depending on the presence of obstacle or not. While the variation range of the input variable a is [-1800
, 1800
] in
which negative values refer to the left side robot and positive ones to the right side.

Concerning the output variable of our FFLC we defined the angular velocity computed from the left and right
robot‟s angular velocities values Vangular; the robot is supposed to have a fixed linear velocity equal to 100
mm/s. Regarding the inference part, in our controller we elaborated rules in such a way the robot behavior
mimic the human comportment in driving.
III. Particle Swarm Optimization
Concept of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) was given by Eberhart and Kennedy in 1995. This
technique was inspirited by bird flocking‟s social behavior, where it was observed that the motion of each bird is
influenced by the motion of the nearest bird to it. PSO was used successfully in several applications. The
algorithm initializes the population with random solutions and updates the generation to found optima. N
number of particles exists in a swarm in M-dimensional search space. In PSO each individual or particle has a
position and a velocity expressed by a position change which means the flying direction of the particle. It
successively adjusts its position based on two factors: the best position of its neighbor (pbest) and the best
position swing by the entire swarm (gbest). The best solution is determined using a defined fitness function.
Each particle is represented by its instantaneous current position x and position change _(x) or also named
velocity, which is generally calculated as below:v[] = c0 *v[] + c1 * rand() * (pbest[] - present[])+ c2 * rand() *
(gbest[] –present)&present[] = present[] + v[]Where w indicates the inertia weight, t is the tth
iteration, rand() is
a random function in [0 1], gbest is the global best of the whole swarm, pbesti is the local best of the ith
particle
and fc1; c2g are cognitive and social parameters.
Figure :-2 Flow chart of particle swam optimization
The swarm size is assumed to be D. Fig.4 illustrates the schematic view of updating position of particle
in two successive iteration. Working of PSO explained in following flowcharts algorithms using population
topologies, which can be smaller and localized subsets of the global best value, are familiar in these days.
Neighboring particle may involve two or more particles which are predetermined to act together. Figure: Single-
located, where particular particle only compare themselves to the next best.
IV. Simulation Results
Design of Adaptive Tracking Controller Using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for Robot
Navigation gives results as describes fallow. The starting direction is found from the start point and ends at the
goal point. The inputs are three sensors for detection of obstacle which fuzzified on the basis of far, close or
very close and the output is the navigation i.e. straight, soft right, hard right, soft left, hard left.
The distance of the obstacle is sensed from the sensor and depends on the current position and
orientation of the moving robot. Figure 1, 2 consist of source goal along with obstacle, Figure Shows possible
path here only three possible path considered out of which one is shortest one shown in Figure 2and 4. Table 2,

5 shows the Possible Path and Path with No. of obstacle. Whereas table2 Show Movement of Robot and
Obstacle Position Here Distance between Source and Destination considered 10 units then it is divided into 3
parts according to the Ranges As for nearest, near and away.
Three sensors are considered in Left, Right and Straight direction respectively. Depending upon the distance and
direction membership function has been calculated. Simulation Results by using different Enlivenments

VI. Conclusion

In the simulation Particle swarm optimization approaches have been implemented for robot navigation in indoor
environments. Navigation Path for mobile robot calculate by Fuzzy tracking controller and particle swarm
optimization (PSO). The particle swarm optimization approach is used to calculate the total time for navigated
path and optimize path. In optimize path time delay with and without PSO is calculated. Efficiency of adaptive
tracking fuzzy controller is increased by using particle swarm optimization. The SLAM technique is used to
