Manipulator Planning

Manipulator motion and path planning using RRT and CHOMP

Manipulator motion planning involves planning paths in high-dimensional space based on the degree-of-freedom (DOF) of your robot and the kinematic constraints of the robot model. Kinematic constraints for the robot model are specified as a rigidBodyTree object. Use manipulatorRRT to plan paths in the joint space using the rapidly exploring random tree (RRT) algorithm. Use manipulatorCHOMP to plan and optimize smooth, collision-free trajectories using covariant Hamiltonian optimization for motion planning (CHOMP) algorithm.
