MINIMUM COST PATH SEARCH IN AN UNCERTAIN-CONFIGURATION SPACE

Abstract

The object of this paper is to propose a minimum cost path search algorithm in an uncertain-configuration space and to give its proofs of optimality and completeness. In order to achieve this goal, we focus on one of the simpler and efficient path search algorithm in the configuration space : the A* algorithm. We then add uncertainties and deal with them as if they were simple dof (degree of freedom). Next, we introduce towers of uncertainties in order to improve the efficiency of the search. Finally we prove the optimality and completeness of the resulting algorithm.
