Lecture 4: Motion planning with differential constraints

(Big slides) (Small slides)

This lecture explains some main ideas of continuous motion planning with differential constraints:

  • Lattice planning
  • Motion primitives and obstacles
  • Optimization of trajectories
  • Computer tools and libraries for motion planning
