A new algorithm of minimum time motion planning is proposed for robots operating in the obstacle strewn environment. Structure of the topological passageways is analyzed and represented using a model of slalom situations for which a number of rules is determined. Dynamical system of robot is described in a form of sequential machine. Thls enabled a merger between two kindred algorithms: A* search algorithm, and dynamic programming. An experimental analysis of the simulated mobile robot has confirmed the applicability of results.
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.
