Abstract

In this paper, a new method is introduced for finding a near-optimal path of a nonholonomic robot moving in a 2D environment cluttered with static obstacles. The method is based on the Bump-Surfaces concept and is able to deal with robots represented by a translating and rotating rigid body. The proposed approach is applied to car-like robots.
