Abstract

We present a replanning algorithm for repairing Rapidly-exploring Random Trees when changes are made to the configuration space. Instead of abandoning the current RRT, our algorithm efficiently removes just the newly-invalid parts and maintains the rest. It then grows the resulting tree until a new solution is found. We use this algorithm to create a probabilistic analog to the widely-used D* family of deterministic algorithms, and demonstrate its effectiveness in a multirobot planning domain.
