abstract = "In this paper the problem of local minimum in obstacle
avoidance is solved using improved follow gap method
(FGM) through combination with genetic programming
(GP). Two stages of controller are proposed and applied
on Robotino mobile robot equipped with nine infra-red
sensors. The first stage implements FGM when there is a
gap between front obstacles whereas the second stage
deals with the case of no front gap through the use of
GP. Simulation and experimental work prove the
effectiveness of the proposed method.",
