6 Hard Motion Planning Problems Deformable Objects Find a path for a deformable object that can deform to avoid collision with obstacles move a mattress in a house, elastic or air-filled objects, metal sheets or long flexible tubes virtual surgery applications computer animation and games Issue: difficult to find natural deformation efficiently
7 Hard Motion Planning Problems Intelligent CAD Applications Using Motion Planning to Test Design Requirements: Accessibility for servicing/assembly tested on physical mock ups Digital testing saves time and money, is more accurate, enables more extensive testing, and is useful for training (VR or e-manuals) Maintainability Problems: Mechanical Designs from GE flange Airplane engine

34 The Complexity of Motion Planning General motion planning problem is PSPACE-hard [Reif 79, Hopcroft et al. 84 & 86] PSPACE-complete [Canny 87] The best deterministic algorithm known has running time that is exponential in the dimension of the robot s C-space [Canny 86] C-space has high dimension - 6D for rigid body in 3-space simple obstacles have complex C-obstacles impractical to compute explicit representation of freespace for more than 4 or 5 dof PSPACE So attention has turned to randomized algorithms which trade full completeness of the planner for probabilistic completeness and a major gain in efficiency NP P

36 Theta Probabilistic Roadmap Method Roadmap Construction (Pre-processing) 1. Randomly generate robot configurations (nodes) - discard nodes that are invalid
37 Probabilistic Roadmap Method Roadmap Construction (Pre-processing) Theta 1. Randomly generate robot configurations (nodes) - discard nodes that are invalid 2. Connect pairs of nodes to form roadmap - simple, deterministic local planner - e.g., straight-line - discard connections that are invalid

Connect pairs of nodes to form roadmap - simple, deterministic local planner (e.g., straightline) - discard paths that are invalid Query processing 1. Connect start and goal to roadmap 2. Find path in roadmap between start and goal - regenerate plans for edges in roadmap

PRMs don t work as well for some problems: unlikely to sample nodes in narrow passages hard to sample/connect nodes on constraint surfaces start
41 Related Work (selected) Probabilistic Roadmap Methods Uniform Sampling (original) [Kavraki, Latombe, Overmars, Svestka, 92, 94, 96] Obstacle-based PRM (OBPRM) [Amato et al, 98] PRM Roadmaps in Dilated Free space [Hsu et al, 98] Gaussian Sampling PRMs [Boor/Overmars/van der Steppen 99] PRM for Closed Chain Systems [Lavalle/Yakey/Kavraki 99, Han/Amato 00] PRM for Flexible/Deformable Objects [Kavraki et al 98, Bayazit/Lien/Amato 01] Visibility Roadmaps [Laumond et al 99] Using Medial Axis [Kavraki et al 99, Lien/Thomas/Wilmarth/Amato/Stiller 99, 03, Lin et al 00] Generating Contact Configurations [iao et al 99] Single Shot [Vallejo/Remmler/Amato 01] Bio-Applications: Protein Folding [Song/Thomas/Amato 01,02,03, Apaydin et al 01,02] Lazy Evaluation Methods: [Nielsen/Kavraki 00 Bohlin/Kavraki 00, Song/Miller/Amato 01, 03] Related Methods Ariadnes Clew Algorithm [Ahuactzin et al, 92] RRT (Rapidly Exploring Random Trees) [Lavalle/Kuffner 99]
42 An Obstacle-Based PRM To Navigate Narrow Passages we must sample in them most PRM nodes are where planning is easy (not needed) PRM Roadmap OBPRM Roadmap goal goal C-obst C-obst C-obst C-obst C-obst C-obst C-obst C-obst start start Idea: Can we sample nodes near C-obstacle surfaces? we cannot explicitly construct the C-obstacles... we do have models of the (workspace) obstacles...
43 Finding Points on C-obstacles 2 1 C-obst Basic Idea (for workspace obstacle S) 1. Find a point in S s C-obstacle (robot placement colliding with S) 2. Select a random direction in C-space 3. Find a free point in that direction 4. Find boundary point between them using binary search (collision checks) Note: we can use more sophisticated heuristics to try to cover C-obstacle
44 Gaussian Sampling PRM 1. Find a point in S s C-obstacle (robot placement colliding with S) d 1 C-obst 2. Find another point that is within distance d to the first point, where d is a random variable in a Gaussian distribution Note 2 3. Keep the second point if it is collision free Two paradigms: (1) OBPRM: Fix the samples (2) Gaussian PRM: Filter the samples None of these methods can (be proved to) provide guarantee that the samples in the narrow passage will increase!
45 Medial Axis PRM (MAPRM) Intuitively, points on the medial axis are points that are farthest away from the boundary Line segments and parabolic curves 3D medial axis is hard to compute
46 Medial Axis PRM (MAPRM) It is easier to sample on the Medial axis Property: Points on the Medial axis has more than one closest point to the boundary 3 closest points 1 closest point
47 Medial Axis PRM (MAPRM) Given a point that is not on the Medial axis, we can always retract the point to the medial axis 1. Push the point away from the closest boundary point 2. until the point has more than one closest boundary points
48 Medial Axis PRM (MAPRM) Sample a Configuration, p p is collision-free p is in collision q = NearestContactCfg_Clearance(p) V = p - q q = NearestContactCfg_Penetration(p) V = q - p Retract p to the Medial Axis of the free C-space in direction V samples < N Connect sampled configurations
49 Medial Axis PRM (MAPRM) 1000 samples 1000 samples PRM MAPRM
50 Medial Axis PRM (MAPRM) Sampling is increased in the narrow passage In-collision configurations are retracted to free C- space The volume of the narrow passage is increased Pro( Sampling in S ) = Vol(S )+Vol(B ) Vol(C )
