Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of RRTs in autonomous robotic motion planning?

RRTs are used to search nonconvex, high-dimensional spaces and generate open-loop trajectories for nonlinear systems with state constraints, as well as compute approximate control policies for high-dimensional nonlinear systems.

Who developed RRTs?

RRTs were developed by Steven M. LaValle and James J. Kuffner Jr.

How do RRTs grow a tree?

RRTs grow a tree rooted at the starting configuration using random samples from the search space, attempting a connection between each sample and the nearest state in the tree.

What is the probability of expanding an existing state in RRT growth?

<p>The probability of expanding an existing state is proportional to the size of its Voronoi region.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Can RRT growth be biased?

Study Notes

  • Rapidly exploring random trees (RRTs) are an algorithm for searching nonconvex, high-dimensional spaces.
  • RRTs randomly build a space-filling tree and grow towards large unsearched areas of the problem.
  • They were developed by Steven M. LaValle and James J. Kuffner Jr. and are used in autonomous robotic motion planning.
  • RRTs can generate open-loop trajectories for nonlinear systems with state constraints and compute approximate control policies for high-dimensional nonlinear systems.
  • RRTs grow a tree rooted at the starting configuration using random samples from the search space.
  • A connection is attempted between each sample and the nearest state in the tree, resulting in the addition of a new state if the connection is feasible.
  • The probability of expanding an existing state is proportional to the size of its Voronoi region.
  • RRT growth can be biased by increasing the probability of sampling states from a specific area, such as the goal.
  • Variants of RRTs have been developed to converge to an optimum, such as RRT*.
  • RRTs have been widely used in motion planning and robotics.
