Motion planning is one of the most important areas of robotics research. The complexity of
the motion-planning problem has hindered the development of practical algorithms. This …

Mobile robots did not wait to know that they were nonholonomic to plan and execute their
motions autonomously. It is interesting to notice that the first navigation systems have been …

This well-accepted introduction to computational geometry is a textbook for high-level
undergraduate and low-level graduate courses. The focus is on algorithms and hence the …

Planning algorithms are impacting technical disciplines and industries around the world,
including robotics, computer-aided design, manufacturing, computer graphics, aerospace …

We present a path-planning algorithm for the clas-sical mover's problem in three dimensions
using a potential field representation of obstacles. A potential function similar to the …

This paper considers the problem of motion planning for a car-like robot (ie, a mobile robot
with a nonholonomic constraint whose turning radius is lower-bounded). We present a fast …

Path planning still remains one of the core problems in modern robotic applications, such as
the design of autonomous vehicles and perceptive systems. The basic path-planning …

When you think about how far and fast computer science has progressed in recent years, it's
not hard to conclude that a seven-year old handbook may fall a little short of the kind of …

We study the visibility-based pursuit-evasion problem, in which one or more searchers must
move through a given environment so as to guarantee detection of any and all evaders …

The sea current state affects the energy consumption of Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs)
significantly and the path planning approach plays an important role in determining how …
