I asked in the net a few weeks ago on where to obtain some references on 
collision avoidance. Thank you for all those who have responed to my message.
Here is a summary of what I have got. (As I was asking the question for 
someone, I didn't look up the references myself. What I have got here is 
edited from the messages which I received.)

IEEE Transactions on robotics and Automation is a very good source of 
information.

Thank you very much
