%0 Journal Article %T The higher topological complexity of subcomplexes of products of spheres---and related polyhedral product spaces %A Jes¨˛s Gonz¨˘lez %A B¨˘rbara Guti¨Śrrez %A Sergey Yuzvinsky %J Mathematics %D 2015 %I arXiv %X We construct "higher" motion planners for automated systems whose space of states are homotopy equivalent to a polyhedral product space $Z(K,\{(S^{k_i},\star)\})$, e.g. robot arms with restrictions on the possible combinations of simultaneously moving nodes. Our construction is shown to be optimal by explicit cohomology calculations. The higher topological complexity of other families of polyhedral product spaces is also determined. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1501.07474v2
