Random Sampling for capturing theconnectivity of the C-space:
How efficient is the sampling strategy?
Are the narrow passages well captured in the roadmap?
Are the narrow passages well captured in the roadmap?
Are you keeping redundant free samples in the roadmap?

Classical PRM versus Visibility roadmap
Computes a very compact roadmap.

But: There is a tradeoff with high cost of processing each
new milestone. How many iterations needed to capture the full
connectivity? The problem of capturing the narrow passage
effectively is still the same as in the basic PRM.
The Gaussian Sampling Strategy for PRM’s
By Boor, Overmars and Stappen in 1999.The idea is to sample near the boundaries of the C-space obstacles with higher probability.
How to sample near boundaries with higher probability?
How to sample near boundaries with higher probability?Using the notion of blurring using a Gaussian, used in image processing.
How to simulate this effect using PRM’s?

If the volume of narrow passage is low then it would be captured with low probabilities.

In ‘n’ dimensions it is still like sampling in ‘n-1’ dimensions.
Sampling on the Medial Axis of the Free Space

Not so efficient for any irregular shaped objects.
Works only for 6-DOF rigid objects. Not for any n-DOF/ articulated robots.For simple general cases it would take more time than basic PRM’s.
Conclusion
We saw 3 unique sampling strategies:
Visibility based Milestone management
Gaussian Sampling Capturing the c-obstacle boundaries
Medial axis sampling of free space- works in 3D space and for rigid bodies
