Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras have developed a class of fast and efficient "motion planning" algorithms which can think like human beings and enable autonomous aerial ...

According to the team, the algorithms have been developed on a novel notion of 'Generalised Shape Expansion' (GSE) that enables planning for a safe and dynamically feasible trajectory for autonomous ...

Drones equipped with these algorithms could be extremely useful in disaster management and response situations Satadal Ghosh, an assistant professor at IIT Madras' Department of Aerospace Engineering, ...

Path Searching: Based on path constraints (e.g., avoiding obstacles), to find the optimal sequence for the robot to travel from the source to the destination without collision. Trajectory Optimization ...

Topological complexity is a central concept that bridges the abstract methodologies of algebraic topology with the practical challenges of robot motion planning. It provides a numerical invariant that ...
