This article studies a class of multirobot coordination problems where team robots aim to reach their goal regions with minimum time and avoid collisions obstacles other robots. A novel numerical algorithm is proposed identify the Pareto optimal solutions no robot can unilaterally reduce its traveling without extending others'. The consistent approximation in epigraphical profile sense guarante...

The problem of planning for a robot that operates in environments containing large number objects, taking actions to move itself through the world as well change state is known task and motion (TAMP). TAMP problems contain elements discrete planning, discrete–continuous mathematical programming, continuous thus cannot be effectively addressed by any these fields directly. In this article, we de...

Many practical dextrous manipulation tasks involve large-scale motion of the grasped object while maintaining a stable grasp. To plan such tasks, one must control both the motion of the object and the contact locations, while also adhering to the workspace constraints typical of multingered hands. In this paper, we integrate the relevant theories of contact kinematics, nonholonomic motion plann...

Motivated by fluid analogies, artificial harmonic potentials can eliminate local m in ima problems in robot path planning. I n this paper, simple analytical solut ions t o planar harmonic potentials are derived using tools f r o m fluid mechanics, and are applied t o two-dimensional planning among multiple moving obstacles. These closed-form solutions enable real-time computation to be readily ...
