Title
An experimental evaluation of collision detection packages for robot motion planning
Abstract
Randomized motion planners are greatly aected by the eciency and robustness of algorithms for collision checking of robot congurations. A number of powerful collision detection algorithms are currently available to the research community although their relative capabili- ties and performance cannot be easily compared due to the many factors involved. We have experimentally evaluated collision detection packages within the context of motion planning for rigid and articulated robots in 3D workspaces. Articial and realistic problems have been chosen as benchmarks to as- sess package behavior with dierent object models. Re- ported experimental results should help the user in choos- ing the appropriate collision detection package. In this paper we also present the framework we exploited in our planner to allow pluggable distance computation func- tions and keep the code simple and easy to maintain.
