Abstract

This paper proposes a parallel algorithm for robot path planningon a linear array with a reconfigurable pipelined bus system(LARPBS) through the construction of a Voronoi diagram on a binaryimage of the workspace. The algorithm is based on a d4distance metric, and it does not incur any additional time orprocessor requirements compared with those of a previously reportedproposal (Tzionas et al., 1997). This paper recommends the samemodel as the simpler VLSI architecture for the problem inquestion.
