Title
Using OXSIM for path planning
Abstract
We address the issue of building scalable and reusable path planners for realistic robot manipulators working in three-dimensional space amid complex geometry, by presenting the latest version of our robot manipulator planning toolbox, OXSIM. OXSIM is designed to greatly simplify the building ol: planners by providing core competence in three-dimensional geometry. This is done by the provision of efficient routines for computing the distance between parts of the robot and ifs environment. A new version of OXSIM, written in C++, provides an object-oriented interface to the basic system, which increases its ease of use. Here we give an overview of OXSIM and how it works and describe a modified version of the probabilistic road map planner that we have implemented under the framework. (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
