I am a junior undergraduate Computer Science major at Texas Wesleyan University expecting to graduate with my math minor and BS in the Fall of 2019. I am currently doing research in TAMU Parasol Lab with my partner Diego Ruvalcaba under my mentor Mukulika Ghosh and Dr.Amato through the CRA-W DREU program.
Motion Planning is very useful and it is applicable to many real world
problems. The more detailed the system is the safer and more efficient
the path is. Our purpose is the enhance motion planing capabilities by
adding more details to our display and allow users to manipulate, store
and create specification of an environment so that we can solve more complex
problems. We hope that enabling these new features will allow us to
innovate new motion planning strategies which utilize workspace
skeletons. Also
our work space is limited to at most 3 dimensional environments,
however robots may have many more degrees of freedom. With the skeleton
display we will be able to add more depth to our visualization, so
while we can't go beyond 3D we can view properties which may affect a
paths accessibility such as clearances and volumes.
