Planning algorithms are impacting technical disciplines and industries around the world,
including robotics, computer-aided design, manufacturing, computer graphics, aerospace …

Stability theory has allowed us to study both qualitative and quantitative properties of
dynamical systems, and control theory has played a key role in designing numerous …

This paper presents a novel and generic approach of path optimization for nonholonomic
systems. The approach is applied to the problem of reactive navigation for nonholonomic …

The problem of determining a collision-free path for a mobile robot moving in a dynamically
changing environment is addressed in this paper. By explicitly considering a kinematic …

One of the most challenging tasks for truck drivers is maneuvering the truck-trailer system in
different parking scenarios. This article presents a novel path planning approach for truck …

This chapter describes the Motion Planning and Obstacle Avoidance for mobile robots. We
will see how both areas do not share the same modelling background. From the very …

By a mobile manipulator we mean a robotic system composed of a non-holonomic mobile
platform and a holonomic manipulator fixed to the platform. A taskspace of the mobile …

In this paper, a two-step trajectory planning algorithm from robotics literature is applied to
generate suitable trajectories for an autonomous parking maneuver of a car. First, a collision …

In this paper we propose a trajectory planning approach for autonomous vehicles on
structured road maps. Therefore we are using the well-known A* optimal path planning …

This research presents path planning and tracking for an articulated large wheel loader
during the travel portion of a loading cycle. The study proposes a methodology for path …
