This paper focuses on planar typical Bézier curves with a single curvature extremum, which is a supplement of typical curves with monotonic curvature by Y. Mineur et al. We have proven that the typical curve has at most one curvature extremum and given a fast calculation formula of the parameter at the curvature extremum. This will allow designers to execute a subdivision at the curvature extremum to obtain two pieces of typical curves with monotonic curvature. In addition, we put forward a sufficient condition for typical curve solutions under arbitrary degrees for the G1 interpolation problem. Some numerical experiments are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our approach.

Recently, He et al. derived several remarkable properties of the so-called typical Bézier curves, a subset of constrained Bézier curves introduced by Mineur et al. In particular, He et al. proved that such curves display at most one curvature extremum, give an explicit formula of the parameter at the extremum, and show that subdividing a curve at this point furnishes two new typical curves. We recall that typical curves amount to segments of a special family of sinusoidal spirals, curves already studied by Maclaurin in the early 18th century and whose properties are well-known. These sinusoidal spirals display only one curvature extremum (i.e., vertex), whose parameter is simply that corresponding to the axis of symmetry. Subdividing a segment at an arbitrary point, not necessarily the vertex, always yields two segments of the same spiral, hence two typical curves.

Innovative applications in rapidly evolving domains such as robotic navigation and autonomous (driverless) vehicles rely on motion planning systems that meet the shortest path and obstacle avoidance requirements. This article proposes a novel path planning algorithm based on jump point search and Bezier curves. The proposed algorithm consists of two main steps. In the front end, the improved heuristic function based on distance and direction is used to reduce the cost, and the redundant turning points are trimmed. In the back end, a novel trajectory generation method based on Bezier curves and a straight line is proposed. Our experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm provides a complete motion planning solution from the front end to the back end, which can realize an optimal trajectory from the initial point to the target point used for robot navigation.
