Abstract

Kinodynamicplanmng attempts to solve a robot motion problem subject to simultaneous kinematic and dynamics constraints.In the general problem, ggven a robot system, we must find a minimal-time trajectory that goes from a start position and veloclty to a goal position and velocity while avoiding obstacles by a safety margur and respecting constraints cm velocity and acceleration.We consider the simplified case of a point mass under Newtoman mechanics.together with velocity and acceleration bounds.The point must be flown from a start to a goal, amidst polyhedral obstacles in 2D or 3D.Although exact sohztions to this problem are not known, we provide the first provably good approximation algorlthm, and show that it runs in polynomial time.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
