The feasible path problem is solved for planning a collision-free path to translate an arbitrary polyhedral robot from an initial position to some goal position in a polyhedral environment. The shortest path problem entails finding the shortest feasible path. The authors present two versions of the window corner (WC) algorithm, which is a novel solution to the problems for the case of single and multistep translational paths for two dimensions, and then summarize the extension to the three-dimensional WC algorithm, for feasible paths. The concept of window corners in the polyhedral cone representation (PCR) is introduced, which reduces the search space. The PCR cones store constraints between boundary elements. The PCO representation has O(m) vertices compared to O(m/sup 2/) in a C-space representation. The WC algorithm was tested and an example from assembly path planning is presented.< >

The effectiveness of the ellipsoid representation for geometrical reasoning is demonstrated in the context of robotics. Specifically, a robot collision-detection problem that consists of computing a quantity that reflects, as a function of the geometrical data, the amount of clearance between the robot and its environment is discussed. The method consists of two algorithms. The first computes the optimal ellipsoid surrounding a convex polyhedron. The second computes an analytic formula for the free margin about one ellipsoid with respect to another, as a standard eigenvalue problem. An efficient incremental version of the latter algorithm is proposed. This system has been implemented, and preliminary simulation results are provided.< >
