Enabling Faster, More Capable Robots With Real-Time Motion Planning

18 Δεκεμβρίου 2018 by paulkokos

paulkokos

Hardware-based motion planning that operates in under a millisecond makes robots both safer and more versatileDespite decades of expectations that we will have dexterous robots performing sophisticated tasks in the house and elsewhere, the use of robots remains painfully limited, largely due to insufficient motion-planning performance. Motion planning is the…
