How Do Robots Know Where To Go?
How Do Robots Know Where To Go?
Big idea:
Robots navigate through the world using a path planner to search for routes around obstacles and an execution monitor to ensure that the robot stays on the path.
Underlying technologies:
RRTs (Rapidly-exploring Random Trees)
Learning goal: Students will understand
Concept of a stochastic search algorithm
How the RRT-Connect algorithm is used for path planning, and how planning can fail.
Skill goals: Students will be able to:
Invoke one of the Pilot’s path planners to plan and execute paths through environments containing obstacles.
