Abstract:This paper presents a parallel motion planner for mobile robots and autonomous vehicles based on lattices created in the sensor space of planar range finders. The planner is able to compute paths in a few milliseconds, thus allowing obstacle avoidance in real time. The proposed sensor-space lattice (SSLAT) motion planner uses a lattice to tessellate the area covered by the sensor and to rapidly compute collision-free paths in the robot surroundings by optimizing a cost function. The cost function guides the ve… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
