It is a crucial problem to study the reachability of planar arms inside convex obtuse polygons. In this paper, we studied the reachability problem for 2-link planar arms inside a circle, a general polygon with (without) some holes in it and presented several algorithms for them. Furthermore, we proposed some algorithms for a special case where the shoulder of an arm moves along a given segment or passes through a certain path. It is essential to mention that our approach is based on the Gröbner bases technique.
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.
