How quantum computing can navigate robots through crowded places

Movie scenes with robots and vehicles autonomously moving around and interacting with their environment are no longer science fiction but slowly becoming part of our daily lives. On Mars, robotic vehicles already travel around freely and perform tasks. However, on Earth, the setup is quite different: robots have to navigate through crowded places and plan their route numerous times per second to safely avoid pedestrians and property. Currently, the development of rapidly responsive robot path planning is a hot topic of research. In computational methods, a robot's ability to pivot heavily depends on continuously solving differential equations.
