Abstract (excerpt)

Nearest-neighbor search dominates the asymptotic complexity of sampling-based motion planning algorithms and is often addressed with k-d tree data structures. While it is generally believed that the expected complexity of nearest-neighbor queries is $O(log(N))$ in the size of the tree, this paper reveals that when a classic k-d tree approach is used with sub-Riemannian metrics, the expected query complexity is in fact $Θ(N^p \log(N))$ for a number $p \in [0, 1)$ determined by the degree of nonholonomy of the system. These metrics arise naturally in nonholonomic mechanical systems, including cl
