Article: Researchers at La Sapienza University target robotics.(Report)

According to recent research published in the journal IEEE Transactions on Robotics, "In this paper, we characterize the time-optimal trajectories leading a Dubins car in collision with the obstacles in its workspace."

"Due to the constant velocity constraint characterizing the Dubins car model, these trajectories form a sufficient set of shortest paths between any robot configuration and the obstacles in the environment. Based on these paths, we define and give the algorithm for computing a distance function that takes into account the nonholonomic constraints and captures the nonsymmetric nature of the system," wrote P.R. Giordano and colleagues, La Sapienza ...
