  • Chapter

Abstract

We present a novel single shot random algorithm, named RSRT, for Rapidly-exploring Sorted Random Tree and based on inherent relations analysis between RRT components. Experimental results are realized with a wide set of path planning problems involving a free flying object in a static environment. The results show that our RSRT algorithm is faster than existing ones. These results can also stand as a starting point of a massive motion planning benchmark.
