LARC: Lazy Adaptive Reachability Certification of Robot Manipulator Trajectories

LARC: Lazy Adaptive Reachability Certification of Robot Manipulator Trajectories

Summary

This paper introduces LARC, a lazy adaptive reachability certification method for robot manipulator trajectories.

Editorial context

The study presents LARC, a method for certifying robot trajectories by adaptively bisecting time intervals only where clearance is inconclusive, achieving up to 10.28x speedup on AgileX PIPER data while noting that sampled-clearance audits cannot independently prove continuous-time clearance.
