This thesis is based on the work carried out in the field of safety systems for Autonomous Guided Vehicles(AGV). With autonomous vehicles being more prominent today, safe traversing of these is a major concern. The same is true for AGVs working in industry environment like forklift trucks etc. Our work applies to industrial robots. The method described here is developed by closely following an algorithm developed for safe traversing of a robot using a warning field. The report describes the literature review with work related to the safe traversing, path planning and collision avoidance in robots. The next part is dedicated to describing the methodology of implementation of the Adaptive Warning Field Method and the Dynamic Window Approach. The evaluation of the Adaptive Warning Method with the previous developed Warning Field Methods is done and test cases are designed to test the working of the designed method. Vrep simulation environment and Industrial data is used to run a simulation of the robot using the method developed in this work. We find that the method performs better compared to the previous methods in the designed scenarios. Lastly we conclude the report with the future work that can be carried out to improve and extend the algorithm.
