Quantum-Enhanced Constraint Satisfaction for Robotics
Jincheng Zhang
Abstract
Quantum-enhanced constraint satisfaction (CS) algorithms offer the potential for significantly faster and more adaptable solutions compared to classical approaches, particularly in complex robotic manipulation tasks. This paper explores the design of a novel quantum-enhanced CS algorithm, leveraging quantum superposition and entanglement to represent constraints and robot states, aiming to overcome limitations of existing methods. The core mechanism involves creating a quantum state space where the search space is expanded, facilitating faster exploration of solution space and improved adaptation to dynamic environments. This work addresses the challenges of scalability and efficiency in robotic control, presenting a theoretical framework and preliminary results demonstrating potential advantages in optimization and task completion.
