Robot Motion Planning Using Generalised Voronoi Diagrams
نویسنده
چکیده
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 methods (visibility graphs, Voronoi diagrams, rapidly exploring random trees) and methods based on cell decomposition. A common feature of all these methods is the generating of trajectories composed from line segments. In this paper, we will show that generalised Voronoi diagrams can be used for fast generation of smooth paths sufficiently distant from obstacles. Key-Words: motion planning, cell decomposition, sampling methods, roadmap method, generalised Voronoi diagram

Mobile Robot Online Motion Planning Using Generalized Voronoi Graphs
In this paper, a new online robot motion planner is developed for systematically exploring unknown environ¬ments by intelligent mobile robots in real-time applications. The algorithm takes advantage of sensory data to find an obstacle-free start-to-goal path. It does so by online calculation of the Generalized Voronoi Graph (GVG) of the free space, and utilizing a combination of depth-first an...
متن کاملKinodynamic Robot Motion Planning Based on the Generalised Voronoi Diagram
Kinodynamic motion planning of an autonomous robot in an unknown or partially known indoor or outdoor environment is a challenging task, especially when the generated path must maintain the largest distance from surrounding obstacles and the robot’s kinodynamic properties, its localisation, and uncertainty of the environment are also considered. A new motion planning technique, which is built o...
متن کاملInteractive Motion Planning Using Hardware-Accelerated Computation of Generalized Voronoi Diagrams
We present techniques for fast motion planning by using discrete approximations of generalized Voronoi diagrams, computed with graphics hardware. Approaches based on this diagram computation are applicable to both static and dynamic environments of fairly high complexity. We compute a discrete Voronoi diagram by rendering a three-dimensional distance mesh for each Voronoi site. The sites can be...
متن کاملImplementation 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...
متن کاملRoadmap 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...
