Foil 33 General Comments on Physical Optimization for Navigation

From Physical Optimization and Physical Computation CPSP713 Case studies in Computational Science -- Spring Semester 1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 Most work on navigation concentrates on exact methods (combinatorial optimization) for a few degrees of freedom
2 Physical optimization allows very many vehicles to be navigated
  • Air traffic control
  • Land vehicles
  • Robot manipulators
  • Looks very promising for multiple manipulator problem which is otherwise intractable
3 But we must use elastic net - neural networks gave us right general idea, but too many constraints
