Original Abstract Submitted
a method, apparatus, and computer program product provide for improving performance of autonomous robots through waypoint reduction for path planning. in the context of a method, the method obtains a path set comprising a plurality of paths to be traversed by a plurality of autonomous robots. the method determines a path set solution based at least on the path set. in some examples, the path set solution provides for conflict-free traversal of the plurality of paths by the plurality of autonomous robots, and determining the path set solution comprises removing at least one waypoint from the path set while ensuring that the path set solution from which the at least one waypoint has been removed provides for conflict-free traversal. in some embodiments, the method also causes transmission of the path set solution to at least one autonomous robot of the plurality of autonomous robots.
