Abstract: The characteristics and the algorithm for computing the L, distance between 3-D convex polyhedra are investigated. On this basis, an artificial potential field approach for robot collision-free path planning is developed with the potential function being constructed by utilizing the L1 distance. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated by an example of path planning for the Cartesian robot in 2-D space with graphics simulation.
