Applications Of Harmonic Functions To Robotics, Christopher Connolly, Roderic Grupen May 1992

Applications Of Harmonic Functions To Robotics, Christopher Connolly, Roderic Grupen

Roderic Grupen

Harmonic functions are solutions to Laplace's Equation. As noted in a previous paper, they can be used to advantage for potential-field path planning, since they do not exhibit spurious local minima. In this paper, harmonic functions are shown to have a number of other properties (including completeness) which are essential to robotics applications. These properties strongly recommend harmonic functions as a mechanism for robot control.
