Description: Videos and figures presentation from Chapter 4 of my M.S. Thesis.Summary: In Chapter 3, we discussed various forms of local potential functions, their characteristics, and the general limitations for motion planning. Many of these limitations can be overcome using the potential function introduced in this chapter: the navigation function. The navigation function is considered as a 'global' strategy: to construct such potential, we need to know the complete information of the configuration space. Thus, we can construct a configuration space that is free of local minima at the cost of losing the simplicity computational advantage of the original local potential field approach. The potential field created using navigation function provides us an ideal platform to develop and test our motion planning algorithms for robots collectives in chapter 6.Note: Please rate my video and send me an email if you have any questions.
