GPU-Voxels is a CUDA based library which allows high resolution volumetric collision detection between animated 3D models and live pointclouds from 3D sensors of all kinds. It is mainly developed for robotics planning and monitoring tasks. See our videos on http://www.gpu-voxels.org/demos/ to get an impression.
