Abstract: "This paper presents an efficient approach for determining disassembly motion plans of a subassembly in the free space within its parent subassembly. We propose a two-step approach to generating motion plans. First, all possible paths within free space of the parent subassembly are generated using a partial medial axis. This is followed by a graph search for an optimal global path. Second, a collision free motion is planned using the global path and the geometry of the moving subassembly. In this paper, we focus on the first problem, i.e.,generation of a partial medial axis for disassembly motion planning. We …

Abstract: "This paper addresses the problem of planning the motion of a polygonal object through a set of planar obstacles. We propose a two-disk motion planning strategy to navigate the object within the free space between the obstacles from an initial location to a final location. This method makes use of the Medial Axis Transform (MAT) of the free space which can be generated efficiently using the method in [10]. We determine two minimal overlapping disks that fully enclose the moving object, and then constrain the centers of the two disks to move continuously along a path on the medial …
