Abstract

In a companion paper [7], we presented a framework for analyzing motion plans for a robot that operates in an environment that changes over time in an uncertain manner. In this paper, we demonstrate the utility of our framework by applying it to a variety of motion planning problems. Examples are computed for problems that involve a changing configuration space, hazardous regions and shelters, and processing of random service requests. To achieve this, we have exploited the powerful principle of optimality, which leads to a dynamic programming-based algorithm for determining optimal strategies. Several computed examples are presented and discussed.
