  • Abstract
    An elegant and fast path planning system is presented. The main part of the system comprises a robot ´Path Planner´ and ´Path Improver´ containing a geometric model of the static environment and the robot. The robot structure is modelled as connected cylinders and spheres and the range of robot motion is quantised. To test the techniques a system was constructed that used a dynamic geometric ´World Model´ updated by a vision system. Obstacles were placed in the path of a robot and the results are presented.<>
