Robotic systems designed specifically for space applications often exhibit a high level of autonomy to reduce the costs associated with having humans in space. This paper presents a method for autonomously planning collision free paths for two cooperating robots in a static environment. The method performs selective mapping of configuration space while attempting to locate a safe path. The method is based around an algorithm aimed at transversing a space of arbitrary dimension which contains both safe and unsafe regions. While the procedure cannot guarantee finding a solution even if one may exist, it is intended to find a solution to many practical path planning problems within a reasonable amount of time. Results are presented for applying the procedure to two cooperating six degree of freedom manipulators (Puma 560s).
