Understanding motion planning better: A comparative review of "Principles of Robot Motion: Theory, Algorithms, and Implementations", by H. Choset et al

The textbook on motion planning ''Principles of Robot Motion: Theory, Algorithms, and Implementations'', by H. Choset et al., MIT Press, which appeared in June 2005, is reviewed and compared with two other textbooks on the same subject, from 1991 and 2006, respectively. The ground-breaking developments over the last decade justify the necessity of the newer textbooks, which appear to be complementary, despite some overlap in the contents.
