Motion and Path Planning

Manipulator planning, mobile robot planning, trajectory generation

Plan paths using customizable planners such as rapidly exploring random tree (RRT), and covariant Hamiltonian optimization for motion planning (CHOMP) algorithms for manipulators, and probabilistic roadmap (PRM) for mobile robots. Design customizable motion planners by leveraging Navigation Toolbox™.

Generate trajectories for smooth motion around a global path while avoiding obstacles.
