Path planning is one of the most important process on applications such as navigating
autonomous vehicles, computer graphics, game development, robotics, and protein folding …

With the aging of the population and the increase in the employment cost of the elderly
service industry, the elderly service robot has become an important development field …

Existing methods for avoiding dynamic engagement zones (EZs) and minimizing risk
leverage the calculus of variations to obtain optimal paths. While such methods are …

This thesis presents a new parallelized real-time path planning process. This process is an
extension of the Real-Time Rapidly Exploring Random Trees*(RT-RRT*) algorithm …

This thesis describes a predictive sampling-based algorithm for real-time robot motion
planning to reach dynamic goals. The planner utilizes all available information about future …
