Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure provides a system and a method for controlling a motion of a robot from a starting point to a target point within a bounded space with a floorplan including one or multiple obstacles. The method includes solving for an electric potential in a bounded virtual space formed by scaling the floorplan of the bounded space with the one or multiple obstacles and applying charge to at least one bound of the bounded virtual space while treating the scaled obstacles as metallic surfaces with a constant potential value, wherein the electric potential provides multiple equipotential curves within the bounded virtual space. The method further includes selecting an equipotential curve with a potential value different from a potential value of an obstacle equipotential curve, determining a motion path based on the selected equipotential curve, and controlling the motion of the robot based on the determined motion path.
