We will limit our analysis to the case of a robot workspace free of obstacles. In fact, we implicitly consider the robot controller to be embedded in a hierar- chical architecture in which a higher-level planner solves the obstacle avoidance problem and provides a series of motion goals to the lower control layer. In this perspective, the controller deals with the basic issue of converting ideal plans into actual motion execution.
