Current project: Global Path Planning GPP: piano mover's problem for high degrees of freedom robot. Application to Design for Maintenance or Automatic Fly Through with General Electric. With Dr. Tsai-Yen Li, Dr. Lydia Kavraki and Prof. Jean-Claude Latombe.

Motion Planning?

Given an Euclidean Space with free regions and obstacles, given two points in this space I (initial), G (goal), can you find a path to go from I to G? This is the basic motion planning problem. It is better defined in Latombe's book.There are potentially more applications than you first thought there were: Mechanical Design, Manufacturing (GPP), Robotics, Animated Graphics, Medical Surgery, Drug Design, Financial Problems...

A project in Virtual Reality using the Workbench.
