This method of trajectories construction is envisaged for missions for terrain exploration, with the specific purpose of search or patrol, where fast scanning of the robot workspace is required.We propose the imparting of chaotic motion behavior to the mobile robot by means of a planner of goal positions sequence based on an area-preserving chaoticmap. As a consequence, the robot trajectories seem highly opportunistic and unpredictable for external observers, and the trajectoriess characteristics ensure the quick scanning of the patrolling space. The kinematic modeling and the closed-loop control of the robot are described. The results and discussion of numerical simulations close the paper. %@mirrorrepository sid.inpe.br/mtc-m19@80/2009/08.21.17.02.53 %T Patrol Mobile Robots and Chaotic Trajectories %@secondarytype PRE PI %@usergroup administrator %@usergroup marciana %@group %@group LAC-INPE-MCT-BR %3 macauS1024123X07615439[1].pdf %@secondarykey INPE--PRE/ %@issn 1024-123X %@issn 1563-5147 %2 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m19/2010/09.01.17.28.29 %B Mathematical Problems in Engineering %@versiontype publisher %4 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m19/2010/09.01.17.28 %@documentstage not transferred %D 2007 %V Article ID 61543 %@doi 10.1155/2007/61543 %A Martins-Filho, Luiz S., %A Macau, Elbert E.
