Let B be a point robot moving in the plane, whose path is constrained to have curvature at most 1, and let $\poly$ convex polygon with n vertices. We study collision-free, optimal path-planning problem for between two configurations inside $\poly$. (A configuration specifies both location direction of travel.) present an O(n2 log n) time algorithm determining whether collision-free exists given configurations. If such exists, returns shortest one. provide detailed classification...

We consider the problem of computing shortest paths having curvature at most one almost everywhere and visiting a sequence $n$ points in plane given order. This is subproblem Dubins traveling salesman also arises naturally path planning for point car-like robots presence polygonal obstacles. show that when consecutive waypoints are distance least four apart, this question reduces to family convex optimization problems over polyhedra $\mathbb{R}^n$.

We give a complete description of the Voronoi diagram three lines in R3. In particular, we show that topology is invariant for general position, is, are pairwise skew and not all parallel to common plane. The trisector consists four unbounded branches either non-singular quartic or cubic line do intersect real space. Each cell dimension two connected components on hyperbolic paraboloid bounded, respectively, by one trisector. proof technique, which relies heavily upon modern tools computer...

We revisit the problem of computing topology and geometry a real algebraic plane curve. The is prime interest but geometric information, such as position singular critical points, also relevant. A challenge to compute efficiently this information for given coordinate system even if curve not in generic position.

In most layered additive manufacturing processes, a tool solidifies or deposits material while following pre-planned trajectories to form solid beads. Many interesting problems arise in this context, among which one concerns the planning of for filling planar shape as densely possible. This is problem we tackle present paper. Recent works have shown that allowing bead width vary along helps increase density. We novel technique that, given deposition range, constructs set closed beads whose...

In this paper, we present the first exact, robust and practical method for computing an explicit representation of intersection two arbitrary quadrics whose coefficients are rational. Combining results from theory quadratic forms, linear algebra number theory, show how to obtain parametric curves that near-optimal in depth radicals involved.

We study the problem of computing free space ${\cal F}$ a simple legged robot called spider robot. The body this is single point and legs are attached to body. subject two constraints: each leg has maximal extension R (accessibility constraint) must lie above convex hull its feet (stability constraint). Moreover, can only put on some regions, foothold regions. ${\mathcal{F}}$ set positions such that there exists accessible footholds for which stable. present an efficient algorithm computes...
