Congratulations to Zakary Littlefield for the paper:
“Efficient and Asymptotically Optimal Kinodynamic Motion Planning via Dominance-Informed Regions ”
by Zakary Littlefield and Kostas E. Bekris
which has been accepted to appear at the upcoming IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) 2018, taking place this coming October in Madrid, Spain.
This work continues our longstanding efforts towards motion planning solutions, which provide asymptotic optimality guarantees for systems with significant dynamics, and which form the basis of Zakary’s PhD thesis. It builds on top of the SST planner, the first sampling-based motion planning solution that provided such guarantees. The focus in this paper is on achieving computational efficiency through an informed approach, while at the same time reducing the dependency on manually tuned parameters.
