Inevitable Collision States for Motorcycle-to-Car Collision Scenarios

Inevitable collision states. A step towards safer robots?

An inevitable collision state for a robotic system can be defined as a state for which, no matter what the future trajectory followed by the system is, a collision with an obstacle eventually occurs. An inevitable collision state takes into account the dynamics of both the system and the obstacles, fixed or moving. The main contribution of this paper is to lay down and explore this novel concep...

Collision scenarios and probabilistic collision damage

This paper examines the influence of collision scenario random variables on the extent of predicted damage in ship collisions. Struck and striking ship speed, collision angle, striking ship type and striking ship displacement are treated as independent random variables. Other striking ship characteristics are treated as dependent variables derived from the independent variables based on relatio...

A Collision Checker for Car-Like Robots Coordination

This paper presents a geometric algorithm dealing with collision checking in the framework of multiple mobile robot coordination. We consider that several mobile robots have planned their own collision-free path by taking into account the obstacles, but ignoring the presence of other robots. We rst compute the domain swept by each robot when moving along its path; such a domain is called a trac...
