Feasibility of Motion Planning on Directed Graphs

چکیده
Because of irreversibility of movements, motion planning on directed graphs is much more intricate than that on graphs. Recently we showed that the feasibility of motion planning on acyclic and strongly connected directed graphs can be decided in time O(nm) (n, m are respectively the number of vertices and arcs of the directed graph), but left the feasibility of motion planning on (general) directed graphs open. In this paper, we complete the solution by showing that the feasibility of motion planning on directed graphs can be decided in time O(nm).

Feasibility of Motion Planning on Acyclic and Strongly Connected Directed Graphs
Motion planning is a fundamental problem of robotics with applications in many areas of computer science and beyond. Its restriction to graphs has been investigated in the literature for it allows to concentrate on the combinatorial problem abstracting from geometric considerations. In this paper, we consider motion planning over directed graphs, which are of interest for asymmetric communicati...
متن کاملMobile 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 کاملDesigning Solvable Graphs for Multiple Moving Agents
Solvable Graphs (also known as Reachable Graphs) are types of graphs that any arrangement of a specified number of agents located on the graph’s vertices can be reached from any initial arrangement through agents’ moves along the graph’s edges, while avoiding deadlocks (interceptions). In this paper, the properties of Solvable Graphs are investigated, and a new concept in multi agent moti...
متن کاملFeasibility Study: Subgoal Graphs on State Lattices
Search using subgoal graphs is a recent preprocessing-based path-planning algorithm that can find shortest paths on 8neighbor grids several orders of magnitude faster than A*, while requiring little preprocessing time and memory overhead. In this paper, we first generalize the ideas behind subgoal graphs to a framework that can be specialized to different types of environments (represented as w...
متن کاملPebble Motion on Graphs with Rotations: Efficient Feasibility Tests and Planning Algorithms
We study the problem of planning paths for p distinguishable pebbles (robots) residing on the vertices of an n-vertex connected graph with p ≤ n. A pebble may move from a vertex to an adjacent one in a time step provided that it does not collide with other pebbles. When p = n, the only collision free moves are synchronous rotations of pebbles on disjoint cycles of the graph. We show that the fe...
