    Pontryagin's Maximum principle
  Comments:
    This paper argues via the Pontryagin maximum principle that
rotations and straight lines are optimal maneuvers for differential
drive mobile robots.  In other words, to move from one position and
orientation to another in optimal time, requires a series of pure
rotations and pure translations.  Several simplifying assumptions are
made to derive this result.  First kinematic models are assumed, i.e.,
no mass.  Second, it is assumed that infinite acceleration is
possible.  The robots are assumed to move at constant velocity
throughout the maneuver:  starts and stops are considered instantaneous.
