Continuous Arvand: Motion Planning with Monte Carlo Random Walks

Full Text: 2015-planrob.pdf PDF

Sampling-based approaches such as Probabilistic Roadmaps and Rapidly-exploring Random Trees are very popular in motion planning. Monte Carlo Random Walks (MRW) are a quite different sampling method. They were implemented in the Arvand family of planners, which have been successful in classical planning with its discrete state spaces and actions. The work described here develops an MRW approach for domains with continuous state and action spaces, as encountered in motion planning. Several new algorithms based on MRW are introduced, implemented in the Continuous Arvand system, and compared with existing motion planning approaches in the Open Motion Planning Library (OMPL).
