This paper presents a natural mechanism of the human brain for generating a dynamic path planning in 3-D rough terrain. The proposed paper not only emphasizes the inner state process of the neuron but also the development process of the neurons in the brain. There are two algorithm processes in this proposed model, the forward transmission activity for constructing the neuron connections to find the possible way and the synaptic pruning activity with backward neuron transmission for finding the best pathway from current position to target position and reducing inefficient neuron with its synaptic connections. In order to respond and avoid the unpredictable obstacle, dynamic path planning is also considered in this proposed model. An integrated system for applying the proposed model in the real cases is also presented. In order to prove the effectiveness of the proposed model, we applied it in the pathway of a four-legged robot on rough terrain in both computer simulation and real cases. Unpredictable collision is also performed in those experiments. The model can find the best pathway and facilitate the safe movement of the robot. When the robot found an unpredictable collision, the path planner dynamically changed the pathway. The proposed path planning model is capable to be applied in further advance implementation.
