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.

A new sample-based strategy for narrow passage detection

TL;DR: Three different milestone generation methods are proposed to better overcome the narrow passage problem in Probabilistic Roadmaps and show better performance in terms of runtime, uniform coverage of the configuration space, and success rate in narrow passage detection and final path generation.

A Simple Path Non-Existence Algorithm for low DOF robots

TL;DR: This work presents a simple algorithm to check for path non-existence for a robot among static obstacles based on adaptive cell decomposition of C-space, and describes simple and efficient algorithms to perform C-free and C-obstacle queries using separation and generalized penetration distance computations.

Multi-robot caravanning

TL;DR: The use of leader election is used to efficiently exploit the unique environmental knowledge available to each robot in order to plan paths for the group, which makes it general enough to work with robots that have heterogeneous representations of the environment.

Small tree probabilistic roadmap planner for hyper-redundant manipulators

TL;DR: A single-query probabilistic roadmap planner for hyper-redundant manipulators, called Small Tree, that incrementally builds two solution paths from small alternating roadmaps rooted at the two input configurations, until a connection linking both paths is found.

Probabilistic roadmaps for path planning in high-dimensional configuration spaces

TL;DR: Experimental results show that path planning can be done in a fraction of a second on a contemporary workstation (/spl ap/150 MIPS), after learning for relatively short periods of time (a few dozen seconds).

Robot motion planning: a distributed representation approach

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.
