Introduction

The main idea behind artificial potential field methods is finding a function that represents the energy of the system,and generating a force on the robot so that the energy of the system is minimized and reach it?s minimum value, preferably only, at the goal position.

This repository contains python,cpp,matlab simulator for APF
