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 Reactive Planning Framework for Dexterous Robotic Manipulation

TL;DR: This thesis investigates a reactive motion planning and controller framework that enables robots to manipulate objects dexterously and develops a robotic platform that can quickly and reliably replan actions based on sensed information.

Interactive Motion Planning for Assembly Tasks

Michel Taand
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 forces between the algorithm and the user, and on data gathering from the virtual scene.

Rigidity Analysis for Modeling Protein Motion

Shawna Thomas
TL;DR: This research aims to model molecular movement using a motion framework originally developed for robotic applications called the Probabilistic Roadmap Method, and presents a methodology for incrementally constructing roadmaps until they satisfy a set of evaluation criteria.

Improved Connected-Component Expansion Strategies for Sampling-Based Motion Planning

TL;DR: A set of connected component (CC) expansion algorithms, each with different biases and expansion node selection policies that create a linked-chain of configurations designed to enable efficient connection of CCs, are presented.

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.
