Abstract :
This paper reports on Move3D, a software platform, dedicated to collision-free path planning in virtual worlds. The goal of Move3D is to address generic multipurpose applications with the same software, ranging from logistics in industrial installation to character animation, via game design. The algorithms are based on probabilistic approaches and take advantage of the progress of the computer performance. The generality comes from a dedicated software architecture allowing a rapid design of path planners
