An overview of modern methods for motion planning

Abstract

Currently there is growing interest in motion planning problems that play a key role in automation of technologically difficult processes in mechanical, power and transport engineering, medicine, construction and creation of new products and services. This interest particularly relates to the increasing role of computer simulation and such disciplines as complex planning of industrial projects, realistic 3D animation, robotic surgery, automotive products assembly and organization of movement of transport streams. This paper is devoted to the overview and analysis of modern motion planning methods.
