A Subdivision Algorithm in Configuration Space for Findpath with Rotation
(1982-12-01)
A hierarchical representation for configuration space is presented, along with an algorithm for searching that space for collision-free paths. The detail of the algorithm are presented for polygonal obstacles and a ...
Spatial Planning: A Configuration Space Approach
(1980-12-01)
This paper presents algorithms for computing constraints on the position of an object due to the presence of obstacles. This problem arises in applications which require choosing how to arrange or move objects among ...
On Multiple Moving Objects
(1986-05-01)
This paper explores the motion planning problem for multiple moving objects. The approach taken consists of assigning priorities to the objects, then planning motions one object at a time. For each moving object, the ...
Robot Programming
(1982-12-01)
The industrial robot's principal advantage over traditional automation is programmability. Robots can perform arbitrary sequences of pre-stored motions or of motions computed as functions of sensory input. This paper ...
Automatic Planning of Manipulator Transfer Movements
(1980-12-01)
This paper deals with the class of problems that involve finding where to place or how to move a solid object in the presence of obstacles. The solution to this class of problems is essential to the automatic planning ...
Automatic Synthesis of Fine-Motion Strategies for Robots
(1983-12-01)
The use of active compliance enables robots to carry out tasks in the presence of significant sensing and control errors. Compliant motions are quite difficult for humans to specify, however. Furthermore, robot programs ...
An Approach to Automatic Robot Programming
(1985-04-01)
In this paper we propose an architecture for a new task-level system, which we call TWAIN. Task-level programming attempts to simplify the robot programming process but requiring that the user specify only goals for ...
