Outline Motion Planning Configuration Space and Free Space Free Space Structure and Complexity
Motion Planning Given a (2- or 3-dimensional) workspaceW, a robot Aof fixed and known shape moving freely in W, a collection of obstaclesB={B1,…,Bn}of fixed and known shape and location,
Motion Planning Problem and an initial and a final placement for A, find a path for Aconnecting these two placements along which it avoids collision with the obstacles from B, or report that no such path exists.
Modeling • Solution of the motion planning problem in configuration space C: the space of parametric representations of all robot placements. • Configuration q: unique characterization of robot placement by (minimum) number of parameters. Degrees of freedom (DOF) Subset A(q)of W covered by A in q should be uniquely determined.
Fixed world frame, moving frame attached to robot A, initially coinciding. Maintain transformation that maps moving frame back to fixed frame. Frames and Transformations
Displacements • Any displacement in R2 or R3 is the composition of a rotation and a translation with respect to a selected point O (origin).

Contact Surfaces in 3D C-Space Translational motion in 3D: a surface patch corresponds to • a vertex-facet contact • an edge-edge contact • a facet-vertex contact Arbitrary motion in 2D: a surface patch corresponds to • a vertex-edge contact • an edge-vertex contact
Contact Hypersurfaces f-Dimensional C: single contact: (f-1)-dim. boundary feature in CB/Cfree, double contact: (f-2)-dim. boundary feature in CB/Cfree, … f-fold contact: 0-dim. boundary feature in CB/Cfree. Number of multiple contacts determines complexity of Cfree,and complexity of (exact) motion planning algorithms. O(nf) bound for constant-complexity robot.
Free Space Complexity • Lower bound constructions: 2D translational motion • Convex robot: roughly one order of magnitude smaller • Single cell: roughly one order of magntude smaller Ω(n2) double contacts
Free Space Complexity • Lower bound constructions: 2D translation and rotation • Convex robot: roughly one order of magnitude smaller • Single cell: roughly one order of magntude smaller Ω(n3) triple contacts
Free Space Complexity • Similar construction in 3D • Worst-case constructions cage the robot in most placements • Better bounds on free space complexity under realistic assumptions, such as fatness, low density, unclutteredness, small simple cover complexity
Collision Detection Recall that the Minkowski sum of sets P and Q is Recall that the configuration space obstacle CB of B with respect to translating object A is which consists of all translations of A in which it intersects B
Collision Detection: Intersection Objects A and B intersect if and only if If A and B intersect then the point v closest to O on the boundary of corresponds to the shortest translation taking A and B apart. The length of v is referred to as the penetration depth. (Similar for the point w closest to O on the boundary of .)
Collision Detection: Non-Intersection Clearly, objects A and B do not intersect if and only if If A and B do not intersect then the point v closest to O on the boundary of corresponds to the shortest translation that makes A and B intersect. The length of v is the distance between A and B. (Similar for the point w closest to O on the boundary of .)
