Path planning problems involve finding a feasible path from the starting point to the target
point. In mobile robotics, path planning (PP) is one of the most researched subjects at …

This paper proposes an approach based on neural networks for designing near-optimal 3D
trajectories connecting two points separated by obstacles. A reference path is first built with …

Aiming at the problems of smoothness and efficiency in current path planning methods,
based on jump point search (JPS), a path planning method considering both smoothness …

This research aims at unleashing the potential of additive manufacturing technology in
industrial design that can produce structures/devices with irregular component geometries to …

This paper presents a search-based global motion planning method, called the two-phase
A*, with an adaptive heuristic weight. This method is suitable for planning a global path in …

In this research, we investigate the subject of path-finding. A pruned version of visibility
graph based on Candidate Vertices is formulated, followed by a new visibility check …

The small-scale unmanned helicopter is well-known by its hovering capabilities. However, it
exhibits a nonlinear and complex dynamic phenomenon, and it is a loop unstable, high …

Path planning for 2D grid maps has been studied for a long time, however the substantial
leaps have just been achieved with recent series of Theta* variations, which allow the found …

The recently rapid advancements in sensing devices and computational power have caused
paradigm shift in engineering analyses: data driven and sampling-based approaches play …
