Parallel Search Algorithms for Robot Motion Planning

چکیده
In this paper we show that parallel search techniques derived from their sequential counterparts can enable the solution of instances of the robot motion planning problem that are computationally infeasible on sequential machines. We present a simple parallel version of a robot motion planning algorithm based on "quasi best first" search with randomized escape from local minima and random backtracking and discuss its performance on two problem instances, one of which was computationaUy infeasible on a single processor of an nCUBE21 multicomputer. We then discuss the limitations of parallel robot motion planning systems, and suggest a course for future work.

Planning Robot Motion in a 2-D Region with Unknown Obstacles
The purpose of this paper is to present several algorithms for planning the motion of a robot in a two-dimensional region having obstacles whose shapes and locations are unknown. The convergence and efficiency of the algorithms are discussed and upper bounds for the lengths of paths generated by the different algorithms are derived and compared.
متن کاملFast Information Distribution for Massively Parallel IDA* Search
Search permeates all aspects of artificial intelligence including problem solving, robot motion planning, concept learning, theorem proving, and natural language understanding [12]. Because search routines are frequently also a computational bottleneck, numerous methods have been explored to increase the efficiency of search by making use of background knowledge, search macro operators, and par...

متن کاملAn effective hybrid algorithm for mobile robot global path planning
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) exhibits parallelism, contains certain redundancy and historical information of the past solutions with pheromone trail, and is suitable for implementation on massively parallel architecture. But it is not easy to avoid local optima, especially for large-scale schedule problems. Simulated annealing (SA) is a naturally serial algorithm, but its behavior can be contr...
