Toggle PRM: Simultaneous Mapping of C-free and C-obstacle - A Study in 2D Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Motion planning is known to be difficult. Probabilistic planners have made great advances, but still have difficulty for problems that require planning in narrow passages or on surfaces in C space. This work proposes Toggle PRM, a new methodology for PRMs that simultaneously maps both free and obstacle space. In this paper, we focus on 2 DOF problems and show that mapping both spaces leads to increased sampling density in narrow passages and to improved overall efficiency as compared to previous sampling based approaches. 2011 IEEE.
