Summary
|
In the past, mobile robot navigation has mostly been studied in the context of rigid environments and existing approaches cannot take into account that many objects are non-rigid. Throughout this project, we will investigate how to use recent techniques developed in the area of computer graphics to realize a navigation system that enables a mobile robot to navigate through environments that contain non-rigid objects. To achieve this, we will develop techniques for acquiring models of such objects and to efficiently plan the navigation through environments containing deformable objects. |
