A fast path planning by path graph optimization

IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics - Part A: Systems and Humans, 2003
A fast path planning method by optimization of a path graph for both efficiency and accuracy is proposed. A conventional quadtree-based path planning approach is simple, robust, and efficient. However, it has two limitations. We propose a path graph optimization technique employing a compact mesh representation.

Informative path planning with a human path constraint

2014 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC), 2014
One way for a human and a robot to collaborate on a search task is for the human to specify constraints on the robot’s path and then allow the robot to find an optimal path subject to these constraints. This paper presents an anytime solution to the robot’s path-planning problem when the human specifies a path constraint and an acceptable amount of ...

Path planning as a service PPaaS: Cloud-based robotic path planning

2014 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO 2014), 2014
Cloud computing framework can provide promising solutions for service robots to overcome various challenges in unstructured environments. In this paper, we present the design and implementation details of a novel cloud-based system architecture for robotic path planning.

Critical-path planning and scheduling

Papers presented at the December 1-3, 1959, eastern joint IRE-AIEE-ACM computer conference on - IRE-AIEE-ACM '59 (Eastern), 1959
Among the major problems facing technical management today are those involving the coordination of many diverse activities toward a common goal. In a large engineering project, for example, almost all the engineering and craft skills are involved as well as the functions represented by research, development, design, procurement, construction, vendors ...

Path planning by spike propagation

2015 IEEE Biomedical Circuits and Systems Conference (BioCAS), 2015
A path planning model using hippocampal place cells is presented. It is inspired by sequential place cell activity observed in rodents, which is believed to represent goal-directed planning behavior. The utility of this model, implemented with spiking neuromorphic VLSI neurons, is demonstrated in a motion planning task on a four-segment robotic arm.

Adding variation to path planning

Computer Animation and Virtual Worlds, 2008
AbstractPath planning in computer games, whether these are serious or entertainment games, plays an important role in the immersion of a player. Recently, the concept of path planning inside corridors has been introduced and a novel approach under the name Corridor Map Method (CMM) has been proposed.

Support Vector Path Planning

2006 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2006
This paper describes a unique approach of applying a pattern classification technique to robot path planning. A collision-free path connecting a start and a goal point provides information on the division of the space. In the case of 2D path planning, for example, the path divides the space into two regions.

Clear and smooth path planning

Applied Soft Computing, 2015
In this paper we discuss on multi-objective robot path planning in continuous space with static obstacles. We focus on the point-to-point paths with three goals minimizing path length, maximizing clearance and maximizing smoothness. We propose an efficient evolutionary algorithm to solve this problem.

Path Planning for Network Performance

IEEE GLOBECOM 2007-2007 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 2007
Path planning and network design are often treated by architects of mobile communication networks as separate problems. In fact, most mobile ad hoc network (MANET) designs do not consider the path that the network nodes would take as part of the objective set, but incorporate them in an abstract form as general constraints on mobility (limit on the ...

Visual servoing by path planning

2001 European Control Conference (ECC), 2001
Since image-based visual servoing is a local feedback control solution, it requires the definition of intermediate subgoals in the sensor space at the task planning level. In this paper, we describe a general technique for specifying and tracking trajectories of an unknown object in the camera image space.
