Notes

Approved for both letter and S/U grading.

Topics

  • Introduction
  • Motion Planning: configuration space (C-space): C-space of a single, rigid object, obstacles in C-space; artificial potential fields; roadmap representations of C-space; cell decomposition of C-space: approximate methods, exact methods; kinematic constraints on motions; uncertainty
  • Grasp planning: mechanics of pushing and sliding; form closure and stability, issues in dextrous manipulation
  • Task level planning: assembly sequence planning; symmetry groups and assembly planning; hierarchical task planning
