1.1 Trajectory planning This chapter is a contribution to the field of Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence can be defined as the study of methods by which a computer can simulate aspects of human intelligence (Moravec, 2003). Among many mental capabilities, a human being is able to find his own path in a given environment and to optimize it according to the situation requirements. For an autonomous mobile robot, the computation of a safe trajectory is crucial for the success of a mission. Here is the ultimate goal of the trajectory planning issue for autonomous robots:
