چکیده

We describe an algorithm based on motion-planning techniques to determine the existence of an accessible route through a facility for a wheeled mobility device. The algorithm is based on LaValle's work on Rapidly-exploring Random Trees (RRT) and is enhanced to take into consideration the particularities of the accessible route domain. Specifically, the algorithm is designed to allow performance-based analysis and evaluation of a facility. Furthermore, the parameters of a wheeled mobility device can be varied without recompilation thus allowing standards writers, facility designers, and wheeled mobility device manufacturers to vary the parameters accordingly. The algorithm has been implemented in a computer tool that works within a computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) environment.

Direct off-line robot programming via a common CAD package

This paper focuses on intuitive and direct off-line robot programming from a CAD drawing running on a common 3-D CAD package, Autodesk Inventor. It explores the most suitable way to represent robot motion in a CAD drawing, how to automatically extract that motion data from the drawing, mapping it from the virtual (CAD model) to the real scenario and the process of automatic generation of robot ...

3D Indoor Route Planning for Arbitrary-Shape Objects

Route planning, which is used to calculate feasible routes in a given environment, is one of the key issues in navigation systems. According to different constraints in different given space, various route planning strategies have been developed in recent years. Current route planning models for indoor space focus on providing routes for pedestrians or fix-sized users, like robots and persons i...

An assessment of pedestrian networks in accessible neighborhoods: traditional neighborhoods in Iran

Accessibility is one of the important factors in public open space design and the creation of equitable neighborhoods. Limitations caused by physical disabilities should not be a barrier for accessing desired spaces and people must be able to live with the greatest possible independence regardless of mobility limitations. The purpose of this paper was to identify the inclusive criteria of pe...

Let's Go for a Run: Planning Routes to Remember

Research shows that people handle the complexity of environments by cognitively simplifying them using spatial schemas and heuristics. Such simplification strategies can be seen in route planning situations, such as the Travelling Salesperson Problem (TSP) and tour planning. The present study extends this work by examining a situation where memory demands must be considered during route plannin...
