#pathplanning — Public Fediverse posts

This was an interesting problem to work on (back in 2017): A visualization of a path planner for 3D printing (FDM) a single layer/mesh structure of a multi-layer textile. Two setups of the same path strategy which optimized for longest continuous sub-paths and minimum rapids (distance without filament extrusion) between sub-paths. The planner supported six strategies in total, incl. optimizing for straight sub-paths and minimum amounts of "recent" crossings (to allow filament to cool down prior to crossing existing sub-paths)...

Submitted here for #genuary18: Unexpected path. Draw a route that changes direction based on one very simple rule.

Seeing some interesting path tree formations here!

In order to test my motion-planning algorithms some more, I decided to try procedurally generating the arm of the robot, just to see how things would work under varying numbers and arragements of joints.

I then decided to render a quick animation of it.

...it works, but I can't help but think it looks inexplicably disturbing.

Working to poke some fruit in an apple tree again with a simulated UAV equipped with a robotic arm.

Trying out a new way to visualize paths. In this case, the yellow path indicates a trace of the center of the flying base link, magenta follows the end-effector, with green connecting the two at simultaneous moments.

# A fast two-stage approach for multi-goal path planning in a fruit tree

How do you efficiently plan a path for a drone around a fruit tree, and then plan its movements so it reaches into the tree to reach the fruit with a robotic arm? In what order do you do that?

It's my contribution to the 2023 International Conference on Robotics and Automation! #ICRA2023

Today I'm writing code to use #LLM for #PathPlanning without human supervision for autonomous robots to potentially send in disastrous areas of harsh environment.

More on that soon.

I want to build another rover but bigger than a #DonkeyCar. 🤣
