Abstract
In robot motion planning, many algorithms have been proposed that create a roadmap from which a path for a moving object can be extracted. These algorithms generally do not give guarantees on the quality of the roadmap, i.e. they do not promise that a path will always be found in the roadmap if one exists in the world. Furthermore, such roadmaps often become very large which can cause memory problems and high query times.
We present a new efficient algorithm that creates small roadmaps for two- and three-dimensional problems. The algorithm ensures that a path is always found (if one exists) at a given resolution. These claims are verified on a broad range of environments. The results also give insight in the structure of covering roadmaps.
