About this title

Synopsis

This book provides an algorithmic approach to motion planning, a problem with significant mathematical depth and sophistication. It investigates effective algorithms and geometric techniques for solving complex motion planning problems, particularly in situations with a rich geometric and combinatorial structure. The author explores exact solutions of the problem for complex moving systems and discusses the limitations and trade-offs of various approaches. The book also examines extensions to the basic motion planning problem, such as moving obstacles, optimal motion, and unknown or partially known environments. A significant contribution of this book is the development of efficient algorithms for planning the motions of specific robot systems, such as a planar rigid body moving in a planar polygonal region and a line segment moving in three-dimensional space amidst polyhedral obstacles. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding the exact solution to the problem before exploring approximating or heuristic shortcuts, arguing that these shortcuts can lead to a loss of efficiency and hinder a deep understanding of the mathematical structure of the problem.
