• Abstract: Safety inflation can cause nearby obstacles to overlap, violating the disjoint-obstacle assumptions used by many modulation-based reactive planners. We investigate Star-World workspace reshaping for three-dimensional reactive control of a Franka Emika Panda manipulator. At each update, intersecting inflated obstacles are clustered and replaced by star-shaped proxies before a dynamical-system-based end-effector controller is evaluated. A null-space artificial-potential-field term provides complementary arm-body avoidance. We compare reshaped and unreshaped obstacle representations in six PyBullet scenarios using goal attainment, path-length ratio, and computation time. In this preliminary 12-trial evaluation, reshaping reaches the goal in five of six scenarios, compared with four of six for the unreshaped baseline. It resolves the canonical overlapping-wall case and requires 0.68--8.70\,ms per workspace update for scenes containing one to seven obstacles. However, it also increases path length, produces near-equilibria in two cases, and closes a navigable corridor through over-aggressive merging. These results show both the promise and the practical limitations of transferring Star-World guarantees from workspace geometry to a redundant manipulator controlled through inverse kinematics.
