In this paper we consider the problem of planning motions of a team of vehicles that move in a planar environment. Each vehicle is modelled as a kinematic system with velocity constraints and curvature bounds. Vehicles can not get closer to each other than a predefined safety distance. When manipulating a common object cooperatively, further constraints apply. For such systems, we consider the problem of planning optimal paths in the absence of obstacles.
