Learning Outcomes

Motion planning is a fundamental building block for autonomous systems, with applications in robotics, industrial automation, and autonomous driving. After completion of the course, students will have a detailed understanding of: • Formalization of geometric, kinodynamic, and optimal motion planning; • Sampling-based approaches: Rapidly-exploring random trees (RRT) and probabilistic roadmaps (PRM); • Search-based approaches: State-lattice based A*; • Optimization-based approaches: Sequential convex programming; • The theoretical properties relevant to these algorithms (completeness, optimality, and complexity). Students will be able to: • Decide (theoretically and empirically) which algorithm(s) to use for a given problem; • Implement (basic versions) of the algorithms themselves; • Use current academic and industrial tools such as the Open Motion Planning Library (OMPL).

Content

This course is jointly developed and held by Dr. Andreas Orthey (Realtime Robotics) and Dr. Wolfgang Hönig (TU Berlin). It provides a unified perspective on motion planning and includes topics from different research and industry communities. The goal is not only to learn the foundations and theory of currently used approaches, but also to be able to pick and compare the different methods for specific motion planning needs. Part 1: Foundations • Introduction, Motivation, and Problem Formulation • Configuration space, Transformations, Angular representations, Metrics • Efficient collision checking Part 2: Search-Based • A* and relevant variants with their theoretical properties • Motion primitives, state-lattice-based planning Part 3: Sampling-Based • Sampling theory (dispersion, discrepancy) • Tree-based planner: RRT, EST • Roadmap-based planner: PRM • Asymptotically-optimal sampling planner: RRT*; PRM* • Open Motion Planning Library (OMPL) Part 4: Optimization-Based • Overview of continuous constrained optimization formulations • Mathematical encoding of motion planning problems Part 5: Current and Advanced Topics • Realtime motion planning • Hybrid search-, sampling-, or optimization-based motion planning • Machine learning-based motion planning • Multi-robot motion planning: dRRT, M*
