A Robotic Path Planner Contender

Supporting Training on a Robotic Simulator using a Flexible Path Planner

Manipulating the Space Station Remote Manipulator (SSRMS) on the International Space Station (ISS) is a very challenging task. The operator does not have a direct view of the scene of operation and must rely on cameras mounted on the manipulator and at strategic places of the environment where it operates. In this paper, we describe how a new approach for robot path planning called FADPRM can b...

An Approach to Intelligent Training on a Robotic Simulator Using an Innovative Path-Planner

In this paper, we describe the open knowledge structure of Roman Tutor, a simulation-based intelligent tutoring system we are developing to teach astronauts how to manipulate the Space Station Remote Manipulator (SSRMS), known as “Canadarm II”, on the International Space Station (ISS). We show that by representing the complex ISS-related knowledge in the form of a threelayered architecture with...

A Path Planner for PLM Applications

The paper presents the performance of a collision-free path planner designed for PLM application purposes. The algorithm principle is based on a iterative probabilistic diffusion principle [9]. The paper puts emphasis on efficiency and practicality analysis. It focuses on experiments dealing with disassembly problems as well as robot programming. Efficiency is evaluated in terms of computation ...

Tactic-Guided Cooperative Path Planner

Integrating a temporal planner with a path planner for a mobile robot

General planners enable to describe unrestricted classes of planning problems, but have the drawback of being relatively slow when compared to the performance of domain-specific planners within their domains. This slowness proves to be a major handicap when faced with planning and executing in a real world environment. In order to overcome this, we have investigated the idea of using domain-spe...
