ITCS 6152. Robot Motion Planning. (3) Prerequisites: ITCS 6114 or permission of instructor. This course is an introduction to algorithmic techniques for robot motion planning. Topics will include configuration space representations, roadmap methods, cell decomposition methods, potential field techniques, randomized path planning, collision detection, nonholonomic motion planning, multiple robot coordination, and manipulation planning. We will motivate these techniques by applications of motion planning to mobile robots and robot manipulators, assembly planning, computer aided design, computer graphics, and bioinformatics. (On demand).
