Efficient ways to avoid cycles in a graph

I am trying to implement an algorithm called the 'rapidly exploring random belief tree'. The aim of this algorithm is to come up with a path for a robot, which, instead of connecting start and goal with a least distance metric or something similar,…

Trapezoidal decomposition of a graph

When we plan the motion of a robot we may apply the trapezoidal decomposition of free space. While applying the trapezoidal decomposition we add nodes to both the centers of trapezoids and vertical walls. When a robot wants to traverse between…

Classify an algorithm to maximize number of tips used by liquid handlers concurrently

I'm looking for suggestions on algorithms, data structures or at least problems (so that I look for solutions in that domain) to consider. I realize that exact solution probably doesn't exist. But the more similar problems/solutions I can find the…

How to best model multidimensional, continuous, non-convex "shape" as neural network?

I have: set of n-dimensional points that I know are inside of the shape n >= 18, range on all dimensions has upper bound and lower bound (no axis goes to infinity). shape is pretty large in this n-dimensional space, occupies roughly 10-50% of the…

How to transform robot motor steps into X/Y coordinates?

I have a robot with two motors A and B connected to wheels 21.6mm in diameter. The motors move in steps, and there are twenty steps for each complete revolution of the wheel. To make the robot move forwards, I turn on A and B in the forward…

How to convert a search solution to a path to be tracked?

Let's say I have a space with obstacles and I'm trying to control a robot's movement while avoiding obstacles. I also have a start state and a goal state. I use a search algorithm to find the shortest path from the start state to the goal state…

What is the best algorithm for detecting the texture of a person's clothes in real-time for a mobile robot?

I am working on the human following robot. the robot extracts a feature of clothes's texture and distinguishes between the people that they stand up in front of the robot. So, the robot needs that it will be robust and fast.

Using counting to build a grid world

For this question, I have tried everything that I can think of, but cannot solve it. What I want to do is iterate over all possible values of $z_1$, but every method I use, it requires me to know what $p(m|z_1)$ will be for various $z_1$ values. …
