Book Optimizing Path Planning in 3D Environments with Reinforcement Learning and Sampling based Algorithms

Download or read book Optimizing Path Planning in 3D Environments with Reinforcement Learning and Sampling based Algorithms written by Wensi Huang and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motion planning (also known as path planning) is a fundamental problem in the field of robotics and autonomous systems, where the objective is to find a collision-free path for an agent from a starting position to a goal state. Despite the importance of motion planning, comparing the performance of various algorithms under the same environment has been rarely explored. Furthermore, the lack of sufficient evaluation metrics in reinforcement learning (RL) studies can hinder the understanding of each algorithm's performance. This thesis investigates the problem of finding the optimal path in 3D environments using both sampling-based and RL algorithms. The study evaluates the performance of six algorithms, including Rapidly-exploring Random Trees (RRT), RRT*, Q-learning, Deep Q-Network (DQN), Trust Region Policy Optimization (TRPO), and Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), while considering the impact of different features in complex 3D spaces. Simulation results indicate that RRT* outperforms other algorithms in completing a specific path planning task in a 3D grid map. The significance of this study lies in providing a comprehensive comparison of different path planning algorithms under the same environment and evaluating them using various metrics. This evaluation can serve as a useful guide for selecting an appropriate algorithm to solve specific motion planning problems.

Book Optimized Motion Planning

Download or read book Optimized Motion Planning written by Cherif Ahrikencheikh and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1994-10-14 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first handbook to the practical specifics of motion planning, Optimized-Motion Planning offers design engineers methods and insights for solving real motion planning problems in a 3-dimensional space. Complete with a disk of software programs, this unique guide allows users to design, test, and implement possible solutions, useful in a host of contexts, especially tool path planning. Beginning with a brief overview of the general class of problems examined within the book as well as available solution techniques, Part 1 familiarizes the reader with the conceptual threads that underlie each approach. This early discussion also considers the specific applications of each technique as well as its computational efficiency. Part 2 illustrates basic problem-solving methodology by considering the case of a point moving between stationary polygons in a plane. This section features algorithms for data organization and storage, the concepts of passage networks and feasibility charts, as well as the path optimization algorithm. Elaborating on the problematic model described in Part 2, Part 3 develops an algorithm for optimizing the motion of a point between stationary polyhedra in a 3-dimensional space. This algorithm is first applied to the case of nonpoint objects moving between obstacles that can be stationary or moving with known patterns. It's then used in connection with the extensively investigated problem of motion planning for multilink manipulators.

Book Lighter than Air Robots

Download or read book Lighter than Air Robots written by Yasmina Bestaoui Sebbane and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An aerial robot is a system capable of sustained flight with no direct human control and able to perform a specific task. A lighter than air robot is an aerial robot that relies on the static lift to balance its own weight. It can also be defined as a lighter than air unmanned aerial vehicle or an unmanned airship with sufficient autonomy. Lighter than air systems are particularly appealing since the energy to keep them airborne is small. They are increasingly considered for various tasks such as monitoring, surveillance, advertising, freight carrier, transportation. This book familiarizes readers with a hierarchical decoupled planning and control strategy that has been proven efficient through research. It is made up of a hierarchy of modules with well defined functions operating at a variety of rates, linked together from top to bottom. The outer loop, closed periodically, consists of a discrete search that produces a set of waypoints leading to the goal while avoiding obstacles and weighed regions. The second level smoothes this set so that the generated paths are feasible given the vehicle's velocity and accelerations limits. The third level generates flyable, timed trajectories and the last one is the tracking controller that attempts to minimize the error between the robot measured trajectory and the reference trajectory. This hierarchy is reflected in the structure and content of the book. Topics treated are: Modelling, Flight Planning, Trajectory Design and Control. Finally, some actual projects are described in the appendix. This volume will prove useful for researchers and practitioners working in Robotics and Automation, Aerospace Technology, Control and Artificial Intelligence.

Book Collision Free Path Planning Algorithms for Robot Navigation Problem

Download or read book Collision Free Path Planning Algorithms for Robot Navigation Problem written by Kyung Min Han and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Path planning problem, including maze navigation is a challenging topic in robotics. Indeed, a significant amount of research has been devoted to this problem in recent years. Genetic algorithm is a popular approach that searches for an optimal solution in given set of solutions. Considering via points as genes in a chromosome will provide a number of possible solutions on a grid map of paths. In this case, path distances that each chromosome creates can be regarded as a fitness measure for the corresponding chromosome. In some cases, a solution path passes through an obstacle. Assuming that the shape of an obstacle is a circle, such random solutions can easily be eliminated by setting-up simple equation between a line created by two via points and the obstacle. The ant colony optimization algorithm is another approach to solve this problem. Each ant drops a quantity of artificial pheromone on every point that the ant passes through. This pheromone simply changes the probability that the next ant becomes attracted to a particular grid point. Since each ant will make a decision at every grid point that it encounters, it is possible that an ant may wander around the grid map or may become stuck among local grid points. In order to prevent this phenomena the proposed solution adapted a global attraction term which guides ants to head toward the destination point. This thesis addresses methods of the path finding problem using these two different approaches. Both algorithms are tested and compared in the result section. The experiment results demonstrate that these two methods have a great potential to solve the proposed problem.

Cloud, grid, edge and fog computing are a few examples of the current hype. Computational Intelligence offers two faces to deal with the development of models: on the one hand, the crisp approach, which considers for every variable an exact value and, on the other hand, the fuzzy focus, which copes with values between two boundaries. This book presents 114 papers from the 4th International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Data Mining (FSDM 2018), held in Bangkok, Thailand, from 16 to 19 November 2018. All papers were carefully reviewed by program committee members, who took into consideration the breadth and depth of the research topics that fall within the scope of FSDM. The acceptance rate was 32.85% . Offering a state-of-the-art overview of fuzzy systems and data mining, the publication will be of interest to all those whose work involves data science.

Book The Complexity of Robot Motion Planning

Download or read book The Complexity of Robot Motion Planning written by John Canny and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Complexity of Robot Motion Planning makes original contributions both to roboticsand to the analysis of algorithms. In this groundbreaking monograph John Canny resolveslong-standing problems concerning the complexity of motion planning and, for the central problem offinding a collision free path for a jointed robot in the presence of obstacles, obtains exponentialspeedups over existing algorithms by applying high-powered new mathematical techniques.Canny's newalgorithm for this "generalized movers' problem," the most-studied and basic robot motion planningproblem, has a single exponential running time, and is polynomial for any given robot. The algorithmhas an optimal running time exponent and is based on the notion of roadmaps - one-dimensionalsubsets of the robot's configuration space. In deriving the single exponential bound, Cannyintroduces and reveals the power of two tools that have not been previously used in geometricalgorithms: the generalized (multivariable) resultant for a system of polynomials and Whitney'snotion of stratified sets. He has also developed a novel representation of object orientation basedon unnormalized quaternions which reduces the complexity of the algorithms and enhances theirpractical applicability.After dealing with the movers' problem, the book next attacks and derivesseveral lower bounds on extensions of the problem: finding the shortest path among polyhedralobstacles, planning with velocity limits, and compliant motion planning with uncertainty. Itintroduces a clever technique, "path encoding," that allows a proof of NP-hardness for the first twoproblems and then shows that the general form of compliant motion planning, a problem that is thefocus of a great deal of recent work in robotics, is non-deterministic exponential time hard. Cannyproves this result using a highly original construction.John Canny received his doctorate from MITAnd is an assistant professor in the Computer Science Division at the University of California,Berkeley. The Complexity of Robot Motion Planning is the winner of the 1987 ACM DoctoralDissertation Award.
