Abstract
Outlines the state‐of‐the‐art in obstacle avoidance and path planning for industrial robots that is practical on the current generation of computer hardware. Describes practical vehicle planners and planning for manipulators. Summarizes that obstacle avoidance and path planning are techniques with differing goals. Sonar is the standard method of obstacle avoidance systems which is largely limited by the reliability of the sensors used. Path planning however is limited by two things: the algorithms used and the quality of the data available to planners. Concludes that it is now possible to produce path planning and obstacle avoidance systems that can be used in practical robotic systems.Keywords
