Refined hardness of distance-optimal multi-agent path finding

T Geft, D Halperin - arxiv preprint arxiv:2203.07416, 2022 - arxiv.org
We study the computational complexity of multi-agent path finding (MAPF). Given a graph $
G $ and a set of agents, each having a start and target vertex, the goal is to find collision-free …

Hardness of motion planning with obstacle uncertainty in two dimensions

L Shimanuki, B Axelrod - The International Journal of …, 2021 - journals.sagepub.com
We consider the problem of motion planning in the presence of uncertain obstacles,
modeled as polytopes with Gaussian-distributed faces (PGDFs). A number of practical …

Integer programming as a general solution methodology for path-based optimization in robotics: Principles, best practices, and applications

SD Han, J Yu - 2019 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Integer programming (IP) has proven to be highly effective in solving many path-based
optimization problems in robotics. However, the applications of IP are generally done in an …

Shortest paths in the plane with obstacle violations

J Hershberger, N Kumar, S Suri - Algorithmica, 2020 - Springer
We study the problem of finding shortest paths in the plane among h convex obstacles,
where the path is allowed to pass through (violate) up to k obstacles, for k ≤ hk≤ h …

Sampling-based Motion Planning for Optimal Probability of Collision under Environment Uncertainty

H Lu, H Kurniawati, R Shome - 2024 IEEE/RSJ International …, 2024 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Motion planning is a fundamental capability in robotics applications. Real-world scenarios
can introduce uncertainty to the motion planning problem. In this work we study environment …

How to navigate through obstacles?

E Eiben, I Kanj - arxiv preprint arxiv:1712.04043, 2017 - arxiv.org
Given a set of obstacles and two points, is there a path between the two points that does not
cross more than $ k $ different obstacles? This is a fundamental problem that has …

Crop structure optimisation for maximising yield within environmental constraints in a rural area

K Fytilis, A Kontogeorgos… - International Journal …, 2022 - inderscienceonline.com
In the agricultural sector, there are ways in which the productive structure of farms can be
greatly adapted to reduce the risk and overexploitation of available resources to increase …

Revisiting the Minimum Constraint Removal Problem in Mobile Robotics

A Thomas, F Mastrogiovanni, M Baglietto - International Conference on …, 2023 - Springer
The minimum constraint removal problem seeks to find the minimum number of constraints,
ie, obstacles, that need to be removed to connect a start to a goal location with a collision …

A colored path problem and its applications

E Eiben, I Kanj - ACM Transactions on Algorithms (TALG), 2020 - dl.acm.org
Given a set of obstacles and two points in the plane, is there a path between the two points
that does not cross more than k different obstacles? Equivalently, can we remove k …

Point separation and obstacle removal by finding and hitting odd cycles

N Kumar, D Lokshtanov, S Saurabh, S Suri… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Suppose we are given a pair of points $ s, t $ and a set $ S $ of $ n $ geometric objects in
the plane, called obstacles. We show that in polynomial time one can construct an auxiliary …
