systems with an arbitrary degree of nonholonomy. The proposed approach combines a time …

Geometric motion planning for affine control systems with indefinite boundary conditions and free terminal time

S Liu, Y Fan, MA Belabbas - arXiv preprint arXiv:2001.04540, 2020 - arxiv.org
The problem of motion planning for affine control systems consists of designing control
inputs that drive a system from a well-defined initial to final states in a desired amount of …

A homotopy method for motion planning

S Liu, MA Belabbas - arXiv preprint arXiv:1901.10094, 2019 - arxiv.org
We propose a novel method for motion planning and illustrate its implementation on several
canonical examples. The core novel idea underlying the method is to define a metric for …

Mid-air motion planning of floating robot using heat flow method

Y Fan, S Liu, MA Belabbas - IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2019 - Elsevier
