Motion planning plans the state sequence of the robot without conflict between the start and goal.

Motion planning mainly includes Path planning and Trajectory planning.

• Path Planning: It's based on path constraints (such as obstacles), planning the optimal path sequence for the robot to travel without conflict between the start and goal.
• Trajectory planning: It plans the motion state to approach the global path based on kinematics, dynamics constraints and path sequence.

This repository provides the implement of common Motion planning algorithm, welcome your star & fork & PR.

The theory analysis can be found at motion-planning

We also provide ROS C++ version and Matlab version.

• The global planning algorithm implementation is in the folder global_planner with graph_search, sample_search and evolutionary search.
• The local planning algorithm implementation is in the folder local_planner.
• The curve generation algorithm implementation is in the folder curve_generation.

To start simulation, open the folder example and select the algorithm, for example

if __name__ == '__main__':
    '''

    # build environment
    start = (5, 5)
    goal = (45, 25)
    env = Grid(51, 31)

    # creat planner
    planner = search_factory("a_star", start=start, goal=goal, env=env)
    # animation
    planner.run()
