Maintainability is an important issue in design where the accessibility of certain parts is determined for routine maintenance. In the past its study has been largely manual and l...
Abstract— We present an efficient algorithm for complete motion planning that combines approximate cell decomposition (ACD) with probabilistic roadmaps (PRM). Our approach uses ...
— Distributed motion planning of multiple agents raises fundamental and novel problems in control theory and robotics. Recently, one such great challenge has been the development...
: We discuss the applications of modular self-reconfigurable robots to navigation. We show that greedy algorithms are complete for motion planning over a class of modular reconfigu...
