Faster Path Planning for Rescue Robots
A new algorithm from researchers at the University of Michigan speeds up path planning for robots that use their arms to make their way across treacherous terrain such as disaster areas or construction sites. The research enables robots to determine how difficult the terrain is before calculating a successful path forward, which might include bracing on the wall with one or two hands while taking the next step forward.
