(Big slides Download Big slides) (Small slides Download Small slides) (Recording)

This lecture explains some main ideas of continuous motion planning using discretization and sampling:

  • Configuration space and phase space
  • Obstacles
  • Rapidly-exploring Random Tree - RRT
  • Optimal sampling-based motion planning - RRT*
