This volume gathers together the 29 papers presented at the March 1998 workshop held at Rice University, and gives an overview of the state of the art in robot algorithms. The papers cover core problems in robotics, such as motion planning, sensor-based planning, manipulation, and assembly planning. They also examine the application of robotics algorithms in domains like molecular modeling, geometric modeling, and computer-assisted surgery. No index.
