Real-Time Path Planning is a term used in robotics that consists of motion planning methods that can adapt to real time changes in the environment. This includes everything from primitive algorithms that stop a robot when it approaches an obstacle to more complex algorithms that continuously takes in information from the surroundings and creates a plan to avoid obstacles.

Chris Urmson is a Canadian engineer, academic, and entrepreneur known for his work on self-driving car technology. He cofounded Aurora Innovation, a company developing self-driving technology, in 2017 and serves as its CEO. [1] Urmson was instrumental in pioneering and advancing the development of self-driving vehicles since the early 2000s. [2]
A basic motion planning problem is to compute a continuous path that connects a start configuration S and a goal configuration G, while avoiding collision with known obstacles. The robot and obstacle geometry is described in a 2D or 3D workspace , while the motion is represented as a path in (possibly higher-dimensional) configuration space .
The plan is a trajectory from start to goal and describes, for each moment in time and each position in the map, the robot's next action. Path planning is solved by many different algorithms, which can be categorised as sampling-based and heuristics-based approaches. Before path planning, the map is discretized into a grid. The vector ...
OMPL (Open Motion Planning Library) is a software package for computing motion plans using sampling-based algorithms.The content of the library is limited to motion planning algorithms, which means there is no environment specification, no collision detection or visualization.
As a successor of the DARPA Grand Challenge, [9] the IAC aimed to provide a challenging environment for the development of autonomous vehicles. University teams were invited to develop software [10] for solving the autonomous driving task, in the challenging environment of a racetrack, constrained by IAC rules through 2024 that limit only one or two cars to be on the race track at a time, [1 ...
In robotics and motion planning, kinodynamic planning is a class of problems for which velocity, acceleration, and force/torque bounds must be satisfied, together with kinematic constraints such as avoiding obstacles.
