چکیده

This paper introduces a novel heuristic nmdmap method for path planning, one that is inspired by the Vomnoi diagmm concept, but easiZy applicable to geneml configurntion spaces. The nmdmap i s formed by connecting the local maxima of a clearance function which is defined using distance finctions. Reaching the roadmap jivm any jive configurntion is achieved by applying the continuous active-set optimization algorithm to the maximization of the clearnnce finction. Preliminary ezperiments with the new nmdmap algorithm point to its potential utility in solving prnctical path planning pmblems.

Roadmap Methods vs. Cell Decomposition in Robot Motion Planning

The task of planning trajectories plays an important role in transportation, robotics, information systems (sending messages), etc. In robot motion planning, the robot should pass around obstacles from a given starting position to a given target position, touching none of them, i.e. the goal is to find a collision-free path from the starting to the target position. Research on path planning has...

Cooperative Task Assignment and Path Planning of Multiple UAVs Using Genetic Algorithm

This paper addresses the task assignment and path planning problem of multiple UAVs. As one of the strategies for a SEAD(Suppressions of Enemy Air Defense) mission, an efficiency strategy for assignment and path planning of homogeneous UAVs is developed. There are many path planning methods (e.g. potential function method or probabilistic roadmap method) to avoid obstacles, but the Voronoi diag...

Robot Motion Planning Using Generalised Voronoi Diagrams

In robot motion planning in a space with obstacles, the goal is to find a collision-free path of robot from the starting to the target position. There are many fundamentally different approaches, and their modifications, to the solution of this problem depending on types of obstacles, dimensionality of the space and restrictions for robot movements. Among the most frequently used are roadmap me...

Ji Yeong Lee and Howie Choset S 2 xSensor - based Planning for a Rod - shaped Robot in Three Dimensions : Piecewise

We present a new roadmap for a rod-shaped robot operating in a three-dimensional workspace, whose configuration space is diffeomorphic to R3 × S2. This roadmap is called the rod hierarchical generalized Voronoi graph (rod-HGVG) and can be used to find a path between any two points in an unknown configuration space using only the sensor data. More importantly, the rod-HGVG serves as a basis for ...

Implementation Roadmap using Voronoi Diagrams for Vision-based Robot Motion

In this paper, we present a method to navigate a mobile robot using a webcam. This method determines the shortest path for the robot to transverse to its target location, while avoiding obstacles along the way. The environment is first captured as an image using a webcam. Image processing methods are then performed to identify the existence of obstacles within the environment. Using the Voronoi...
