Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a breakthrough in motion planning algorithms for independent bodies that must avoid obstacles and each other as they move. The author, a leading researcher in robotics and computational geometry, explains how this algorithm solves a simplified version of what is known as the 'Piano Movers' problem, where a team of movers must shift a piano through a house filled with obstacles. The algorithm is polynomial in the number of walls but with exponents increasing with the number of moving circles. It is applicable to other more realistic problems involving the coordinated motion of several bodies. The book's insights will interest researchers working on motion planning algorithms or robotics.
