Popis: We present a free space construction algorithm for a polyhedron that translates in the x y plane and rotates around its z axis, relative to a stationary polyhedron. We employ the proven paradigm of constructing the configuration space subdivision defined by patches that comprise the configurations where the boundary features of the polyhedra are in contact. We implement the algorithm robustly and efficiently. The challenge is to detect degenerate predicates efficiently and to handle them correctly. We use our ACP (Adaptive Controlled Perturbation) robustness strategy to prevent degenerate predicates due to input in special position. The remaining cases are predicates that are identical to the zero polynomial because their arguments are derived from overlapping sets of input vertices. We detect and handle these cases with custom logic. We validate the implementation by computing maximum clearance paths.
