In this study, we developed the path-planning algorithm in the unknown environment.
We scoped the problem and considered the small environment. We design a basic
environment in a form of 4 by 4 grid and randomly placed static obstacles in the
environment. The robot used in this study is designed to have 4 wheels with the
obstacle detection sensor. We implement an algorithm to make the 4-wheeled-robot
reach the target position by its own with the shortest path possible and also avoid the
static obstacles.
