Some aspects of computing history in Switzerland are well known to computing historians, such as Heinz Rutishauser’s early work with automatic programming and Algol, Niklaus Wirth’s creation of Pascal, both at ETH Zurich, and developments at IBM’s Zurich research laboratory. However, other Swiss contributions to early history of computing are less well known. A good place to research the histor...

This article describes an investigation of local motion planning, or collision avoidance, for a set of decisionmaking agents navigating in 3D space. The method is applicable to agents which are heterogeneous in size, dynamics and aggressiveness. It builds on the concept of velocity obstacles (VO),which characterizes the set of trajectories that lead to a collision between interacting agents. Mo...
