Abstract
The paper describes a new path planning method for a mobile manipulator arm. Path planning is effected by projecting a virtual window ahead of the manipulator and using a neural network to decode the image in the window and identify collisions (intersections) of the window with unknown obstacles in the workspace. The manipulator path is then adjusted accordingly to avoid collisions
