A real-time Clearance-Based approach for motion planning of mobile robots

TLDR
A new approach, called clearance-based probabilistic roadmap method (CBPRM(c), is proposed which in contrast to VV(c) method, visibility-Voronoi with clearance c, beside satisfaction of a predefined clearance is very efficient in running time, to be applicable in dynamic environments which require real-time approaches.
Abstract
In this paper, two different important quality metrics, clearance and execution time, for motion planning of mobile robots are studied. Then a new approach, called clearance-based probabilistic roadmap method (CBPRM(c)), is proposed which in contrast to VV(c) method, visibility-Voronoi with clearance c, beside satisfaction of a predefined clearance is very efficient in running time. This provides the CBPRM(c) to be applicable in dynamic environments which require real-time approaches. Experiments showed that the CBPRM(c) is able to generate paths with very low execution time considering determined clearance.

Path planning using lazy PRM

TL;DR: The overall theme of the algorithm, called Lazy PRM, is to minimize the number of collision checks performed during planning and hence minimize the running time of the planner.
