Description

Effort Informed Roadmaps (EIRM*) is an almost-surely asymptotically optimal multiquery path planning algorithm based on EIT*. It uses an asymmetric bidirectional search to identify known valid edges in a lazy roadmap and then reuses these to quickly solve individual planning queries by reducing computational effort. EIRM* finds initial solutions up to an order-of-magnitude faster than state-of-the-art multiquery planning algorithms while still almost-surely asymptotically converging to the optimum in an anytime manner.
