Abhishek Kumar, Ravi Bhushan Mishra . A Parallelized Matrix-Multiplication Implementation of Neural Network for Collision Free Robot Path Planning. International Journal of Computer Applications. 69, 28 ( May 2013), 24-29. DOI=10.5120/12249-8443
This paper covers the problem of Collision Free Path Planning for an autonomous robot and proposes a solution to it through the Back Propagation Neural Network. The solution is transformed into a composition of matrix-multiplication operations, which is a classic example of problems that can be efficiently parallelized. This paper finally proposes a parallel implementation of this matrix-multiplication method which, in itself, encapsulates the neural network that implements the collision free path planning for an autonomous robot.
