title = "Solid mechanics-inspired sensor-based motion planner",
abstract = "In this paper a motion planner capable of laying a trajectory for a robot operating in a complex, stationary, unknown environment based on the sensory data it acquires on-line from its finite range sensors is suggested. The planner utilizes concepts from the area of mechanics of solids to generate the navigation field. A new setting for the bi-harmonic potential field approach to planning [1] is suggested. The new setting makes it possible to gradually feed the parts of the environment, as they are discovered on-line by the sensors of the robot, to the bi-harmonic potential-based planner. Theoretical development of the method as well as simulation results are provided.",
