Gadgets and Gizmos: A Formal Model of Simulation in the Gadget Framework for Motion Planning

Recent work has developed a theory of motion-planning gadgets, which are a useful tool for proving hardness for a variety of problems that can be thought of in terms of an agent navigating a dynamic environment. We introduce formal objects representing motion-planning gadgets, which we call gizmos,...
