There has been a remarkable growth in many different real-time systems in the area of autonomous mobile robots. This paper focuses on the collaboration of efficient multi-sensor systems to create new optimal motion planning for mobile robots. A proposed algorithm is used based on a new model to produce the shortest and most energy-efficient path from a given initial point to a goal point. The distance and time traveled, in addition to the consumed energy, have an asymptotic complexity of O(nlogn), where n is the number of obstacles. Real time experiments are performed to demonstrate the accuracy and energy efficiency of the proposed motion planning algorithm.
