A simple time delay method for avoiding collisions between two general robot arms is proposed and a computer simulation study is shown where a collision is likely to occur realistically.
Abstract
A simple time delay method for avoiding collisions between two general robot arms is proposed. Links of the robots are approximated by polyhedra and the danger of collision between two robots is expressed by distance functions defined between the robots. The collision map scheme, which can describe collisions between two robots effectively, is adopted. The minimum delay time value needed for collision avoidance is obtained by a simple procedure of following the boundary contour of collision region on collision map. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed time delay method, a computer simulation study is shown where a collision is likely to occur realistically. >

Optimal motion planning for multiple robots having independent goals

TL;DR: This work makes two contributions to geometric motion planning for multiple robots: i) motion plans can be determined that simultaneously optimize an independent performance criterion for each robot; ii) a general spectrum is defined between decoupled and centralized planning.

Coordinated Path Planning for Multiple Robots

TL;DR: A new approach to the multi-robot path planning problem, where a number of robots are to change their positions through feasible motions in the same static environment, is presented, which is probabilistically complete and can show that any solvable problem will be solved within a finite amount of time.

A distributed and optimal motion planning approach for multiple mobile robots

TL;DR: This work proposes a distributed and optimal motion planning algorithm for multiple robots that explicitly optimizes performance functions through a distributed implementation and is one of the few that is capable of handling outdoor rough terrain environments and real time replanning.

Path coordination for multiple mobile robots: a resolution-complete algorithm

TL;DR: A geometry-based approach for multiple mobile robot motion coordination based on a bounding box representation of the obstacles in the so-called coordination diagram that efficiently solves problems involving up to ten robots in worst-case situations and more than 100 robots in practical ones.

Real-time obstacle avoidance for manipulators and mobile robots

TL;DR: This paper reformulated the manipulator control problem as direct control of manipulator motion in operational space-the space in which the task is originally described-rather than as control of the task's corresponding joint space motion obtained only after geometric and kinematic transformation.
