Abstract :
In this paper, we address the problem of automatically generating motions for nonholonomic systems consisting of tractors with trailers. The presented method generalizes an existing dynamic programming exploration technique using a progressive constraints approach. It has performed well in experiments with multibody vehicles moving with few reversals in cluttered environments
