Path finding is a well-studied problem in AI, which is often framed as graph search. Any-angle path finding is a technique that augments the initial graph with additional edges to build shorter paths to the goal. Indeed, optimal algorithms…
Geometric modelling has been a crucial component of the design process ever since the introduction of the first Computer-Aided Design (CAD) systems. Additive Manufacturing (AM) pushes design freedom to previously unachievable limits. AM…
A novel multi-robot path planning approach is presented in this paper. Based on the standard Dijkstra, the algorithm looks for the optimal paths for a formation of robots, taking into account the possibility of split and merge. The…
When a mobile robot plans its path in an environment with obstacles using Artificial Potential Field (APF) strategy, it may fall into the local minimum point and fail to reach the goal. Also, the derivatives of APF will explode close to…
Sampling-based motion planners are an effective means for generating collision-free motion paths. However, the quality of these motion paths (with respect to quality measures such as path length, clearance, smoothness or energy) is often…
Aerial robots are increasingly being utilized for environmental monitoring and exploration. However, a key challenge is efficiently planning paths to maximize the information value of acquired data as an initially unknown environment is…

The construction industry is a vital sector of the global economy, but it faces many productivity challenges in various processes, such as design, planning, procurement, inspection, and maintenance. Generative artificial intelligence (AI),…
Robots often need to solve path planning problems where essential and discrete aspects of the environment are partially observable. This introduces a multi-modality, where the robot must be able to observe and infer the state of its…
In this study, we address the off-road traversability estimation problem, that predicts areas where a robot can navigate in off-road environments. An off-road environment is an unstructured environment comprising a combination of…
A new path planning method for Mobile Robots (MR) has been developed and implemented. On the one hand, based on the shortest path from the start point to the goal point, this path planner can choose the best moving directions of the MR,…
Mobile robots rely on maps to navigate through an environment. In the absence of any map, the robots must build the map online from partial observations as they move in the environment. Traditional methods build a map using only direct…
In recent years, interest in autonomous shipping in urban waterways has increased significantly due to the trend of keeping cars and trucks out of city centers. Classical approaches such as Frenet frame based planning and potential field…
