Advances in Robot Path Planning Volume II

<p>Path planning is fundamental and crucial for various kinds of robots such as autonomous vehicles multiple robots or robot arms. It is crucial to generate a safe path without colliding with obstacles or other robots in the case of path planning of multiple robots. Considering an aerial robot or underwater robot a safe path must be planned considering the 3D environment. The complexity of path planning of a robot arm increases significantly as the number of degrees of freedom increases. Thus safe paths must be generated for high-dimensional systems in a time-efficient manner. In practice an obstacle may move and thus a robot's path must be replanned if necessary. Moreover it is desirable to consider the dynamic model of a robot when generating a path for the robot. This Special Issue presents the recent research advances in these research topics.</p>
