The Creation of Motion Planning Software for a Car-like Robot by McAlpine, Liam

“…As the demand for robots and vehicles capable of autonomously navigating through obstacle-rich environments increases, so will the need for software capable of achieving such functionality. This dissertation presents software capable of finding a solution to the motion planning problem for a car-like robot in an obstacle-rich, static environment and then controlling a real-world robot such that it closely tracks the prevailing best solution while the software continually searches for better solutions. …”
