OBPRM: an obstacle-based PRM for 3D workspaces

TLDR
This paper presents a new class of randomized path planning methods, known as Probabilistic Roadmap Methods (prms), which use randomization to construct a graph of representative paths in C-space whose vertices correspond to collision-free con gurations of the robot.
Abstract
Recently, a new class of randomized path planning methods, known as Probabilistic Roadmap Methods (prms) have shown great potential for solving complicated high-dimensional problems. prms use randomization (usually during preprocessing) to construct a graph of representative paths in C-space (a roadmap) whose vertices correspond to collision-free con gurations of the robot and in which two vertices are connected by an edge if a path between the two corresponding con gurations can be found by a local planning method.

Dynamic Region-biased Rapidly-exploring Random Trees

TL;DR: Current state-of-the-art motion planners rely on samplingbased planning to explore the problem space for a solution, but sampling valid configurations in narrow or cluttered workspaces remains a challenge.

Generalizing the analysis of PRM

TL;DR: This paper presents a novel analysis of the probabilistic roadmap method (PRM) for path planning in terms of computing the transitive closure of a relation over a probability space and gives a bound interms of the number of intermediate points for some path and the probability of choosing a point from a certain set.

Human Interaction with Motion Planning Algorithm

TL;DR: This paper proposes a modification of a classic motion planning method, the Rapidly-exploring Random Tree to build an Interactive-RRT, based on exchanging pseudo-forces between the algorithm and the user, and on data gathering from the virtual scene.

Capturing the connectivity of high-dimensional geometric spaces by parallelizable random sampling techniques

TL;DR: A basic probabilistic roadmap planner is described, which is easily parallelizable, and a formal analysis is provided that explains its empirical success when the space satisfies two geometric properties called e-goodness and expansiveness.

Path Deformation Roadmaps

TL;DR: A method that extends the Visibility-PRM technique to constructing compact roadmaps that encode a richer and more suitable information than representative paths of the homotopy classes, that enables small roadmaps to reliably and efficiently capture the multiple connectedness of the space in various problems.

Probabilistic roadmaps for path planning in high-dimensional configuration spaces

TL;DR: A new approach to robot path planning that consists of building and searching a graph connecting the local minima of a potential function defined over the robot's configuration space is proposed and a planner based on this approach has been implemented.
