Path planning for a manipulator in the 3-dimensional work space of known and static obstacles is addressed. The path connecting a pair of start and goal configurations is constructed in a short period of computation time. This has been a problem for other methods which exhibit e…
This book consists of a selection of semi-popular essays written from time to time over the past twenty five years. They serve to entertain a certain notion: if we can form a sufficiently complete and precise theory of any given aspect of intelligence, then we can convert it int…
