Differentially Constrained Motion Planning with State Lattice Motion Primitives
Event Location: GHC 4405Abstract: Robot motion planning with differential constraints has received a great deal of attention in the last few decades, yet it still remains a challenging problem. Among a number of reasons, three stand out. First, the differential constraints that most physical robots exhibit render the coupling between the control and state spaces [...]
