| Description: |
This text provides a study of robot motion planning and control. It addresses: nonholonomic motion planning for mobile robots; optimal trajectories for nonholonomic mobile robots; feedback control of a nonholonomic car-like robot; and collision detection algorithms for motion planning. |
| Synopsis: |
How can a robot decide what motions to perform in order to achieve tasks in the physical world? Robot motion planning encompasses several different disciplines, most notably robotics, computer science, control theory and mathematics. This volume presents an interdisciplinary account of recent developments in the field. Topics covered include: combining geometric algorithms and control techniques to account for the nonholonomic constraints of most mobile robots; the mathematical machinery necessary for understanding nonholonomic systems; applying optimal techniques to compute optimal paths; feedback control for nonholonomic mobile robots; probabilistic algorithms and new motion planning approaches; and a survey of recent techniques for dealing with collision detection. |
