Consider an input consisting of a set of $n$ disjoint triangular obstacles in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and a target point $t$ in the free space, all enclosed by a large sphere $S$ of radius $R$ centered at $t$. An articulated probe is modeled as two…
Let $\mathscr O$ be a set of $n$ disjoint obstacles in $\mathbb{R}^2$, $\mathscr M$ be a moving object. Let $s$ and $l$ denote the starting point and maximum path length of the moving object $\mathscr M$, respectively. Given a point $p$ in…
Given two points in the plane, a set of obstacles defined by closed curves, and an integer $k$, does there exist a path between the two designated points intersecting at most $k$ of the obstacles? This is a fundamental and well-studied…
The paper is concerned with elongating the shortest curvature-bounded path between two oriented points to an expected length. The elongation of curvature-bounded paths to an expected length is fundamentally important to plan missions for…
Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a set of $h$ pairwise-disjoint polygonal obstacles with a total of $n$ vertices in the plane. We consider the problem of building a data structure that can quickly compute an $L_1$ shortest obstacle-avoiding path…
We present a near-linear time approximation algorithm for the subtrajectory cluster problem of $c$-packed trajectories. The problem involves finding $m$ subtrajectories within a given trajectory $T$ such that their Fr\'echet distances are…
In the racetrack acceleration model, proposed by Martin Gardner in 1973, each step consists of changing the position of the vehicle by a vector in $\mathbb{Z}^2$, with the constraints that two consecutive vectors differ by at most one unit…
For accomplishing a variety of missions in challenging environments, the capability of navigating with full autonomy while avoiding unexpected obstacles is the most crucial requirement for UAVs in real applications. In this paper, we…
Let $B$ be a point robot moving in the plane, whose path is constrained to forward motions with curvature at most one, and let $P$ be a convex polygon with $n$ vertices. Given a starting configuration (a location and a direction of travel)…
Our input is an undirected weighted graph $G = (V,E)$ on $n$ vertices along with a source set $S\subseteq V$. The problem is to preprocess $G$ and build a compact data structure such that upon query $Qu(s,v,f)$ where $(s,v) \in S\times V$…
In this paper, we present strategies for designing curvature-bounded trajectories of any desired length between any two given oriented points. The proposed trajectory is constructed by the concatenation of three circular arcs of varying…
Given a set $S$ of $n$ line segments in the plane, we say that a region $\mathcal{R}\subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ is a {\em stabber} for $S$ if $\mathcal{R}$ contains exactly one endpoint of each segment of $S$. In this paper we provide optimal…
Maneuvering an articulated vehicle on narrow road stretches is often a challenging task for a human driver. Unless the vehicle is accurately steered, parts of the vehicle's bodies may exceed its assigned drive lane, resulting in an…
We introduce the concept of an obstacle skeleton which is a set of line segments inside a polygonal obstacle $\omega$ that can be used in place of $\omega$ when performing intersection tests for obstacle-avoiding network problems in the…
In this paper we provide an optimal control based strategy to explore feasible trajectories of nonlinear systems, that is to find curves that satisfy the dynamics as well as point-wise state-input constraints. The strategy is interesting…
A shortcoming of existing reachability approaches for nonlinear systems is the poor scalability with the number of continuous state variables. To mitigate this problem we present a simulation-based approach where we first sample a number of…
Trajectory optimization offers mature tools for motion planning in high-dimensional spaces under dynamic constraints. However, when facing complex configuration spaces, cluttered with obstacles, roboticists typically fall back to…
Given a rectilinear domain $\mathcal{P}$ of $h$ pairwise-disjoint rectilinear obstacles with a total of $n$ vertices in the plane, we study the problem of computing bicriteria rectilinear shortest paths between two points $s$ and $t$ in…
Solving for the minimum time bounded acceleration trajectory with prescribed position and velocity at endpoints is a highly nonlinear problem. The methods and bounds developed in this paper distinguish when there is a continuous…
A fundamental problem in computational geometry is to compute an obstacle-avoiding Euclidean shortest path between two points in the plane. The case of this problem on polygonal obstacles is well studied. In this paper, we consider the…
