This paper presents a new approach to path planning for robots with many degrees of freedom (DOF) operating in known static environments that is particularly attractive for many-DOF robots which have to perform many successive point-to-point motions in the same environment.
Abstract
This paper presents a new approach to path planning for robots with many degrees of freedom (DOF) operating in known static environments. The approach consists of a preprocessing and a planning stage. Preprocessing, which is done only once for a given environment, generates a network of randomly, but properly selected, collision-free configurations (nodes). Planning then connects any given initial and final configurations of the robot to two nodes of the network and computes a path through the network between these two nodes. Experiments show that after paying the preprocessing cost (on the order of hundreds of seconds), planning is extremely fast (on the order of a fraction of a second for many difficult examples involving a 10-DOF robot). The approach is particularly attractive for many-DOF robots which have to perform many successive point-to-point motions in the same environment. >

Sampling-based Algorithms for Optimal Motion Planning

TL;DR: The main contribution of the paper is the introduction of new algorithms, namely, PRM and RRT*, which are provably asymptotically optimal, i.e. such that the cost of the returned solution converges almost surely to the optimum.

A potential field approach to path planning

TL;DR: A path-planning algorithm for the classical mover's problem in three dimensions using a potential field representation of obstacles is presented and solves a much wider class of problems than other heuristic algorithms and at the same time runs much faster than exact algorithms.
