Post Triangular Rewiring Method for Shorter RRT Robot Path Planning

Abstract: This paper proposed the 'Post Triangular Rewiring' method that minimizes the sacrifice of planning time and overcomes the limit of Optimality of sampling-based algorithm such as Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (RRT) algorithm. The proposed 'Post Triangular Rewiring' method creates a closer to the optimal path than RRT algorithm before application through the triangular inequality principle. The experiments were conducted to verify a performance of the proposed method. When the method proposed in this paper are applied to the RRT algorithm, the Optimality efficiency increase compared to the planning time.
