چکیده

We consider the problem of planning the motion of an arbitrary k-sided polygonal robot B, free to translate and rotate in a polygonal environment V bounded by n edges. We present an algorithm that constructs a single component of the free connguration space of B in time O((kn) 2+"), for any " > 0. This algorithm, combined with some standard techniques in motion planning, yields a solution to the underlying motion planning problem, within the same running time.

Near-Quadratic Bounds for the Motion Planning Problem for a Polygon in a Polygonal Environment

We consider the problem of planning the motion of an arbitrary k-sided polygonal robot B, free to translate and rotate in a polygonal environment V bounded by n edges. We show that the combinatorial complexity of a single connected component of the free configuration space of B is k3n220('oga'sn). This is a significant improvement of the naive bound O((kn)"); when k is constant, which is often ...

Motion Planning for a Convex Polygon in a Polygonal Environment

We study the motion-planning problem for a convex m-gon P in a planar polygonal environment Q bounded by n edges. We give the rst algorithm that constructs the entire free connguration space (the 3-dimensional space of all free placements of P in Q) in time that is near-quadratic in mn, which is nearly optimal in the worst case. The algorithm is also conceptually relatively simple. Previous sol...

Near-Minimum-Time Motion Planning of Manipulators along Specified Path

The large amount of computation necessary for obtaining time optimal solution for moving a manipulator on specified path has made it impossible to introduce an on line time optimal control algorithm. Most of this computational burden is due to calculation of switching points. In this paper a learning algorithm is proposed for finding the switching points. The method, which can be used for both ...

Motion Planning in a Dynamic Domain*

Motion planning is studied in a time-varying environment. Each obstacle is a convex polygon that moves in a fixed direction at a constant speed. The robot is a convex polygon that is subject to a speed bound. A method is presented to determine whether or not there is a translational collision-free motion for a polygonal robot from an initial position to a final position, and to plan such a moti...

Dynamics modeling and stable gait planning of a quadruped robot in walking over uneven terrains

Quadruped robots have unique capabilities for motion over uneven natural environments. This article presents a stable gait for a quadruped robot in such motions and discusses the inverse-dynamics control scheme to follow the planned gait. First, an explicit dynamics model will be developed using a novel constraint elimination method for an 18-DOF quadruped robot. Thereafter, an inverse-dynamics...
