Plan motions with obstacles
24 min · IntermediateUnderstand the concept
Motion planning searches for a collision-free path through configuration space under model assumptions. A sequence of plausible waypoints is not necessarily dynamically feasible or safe around people. Verify both geometry and execution limits.

Your exercise
Define a virtual obstacle and two alternative planned paths. Compare clearance, path length and assumptions.
Practice in simulation or at safe low voltage unless supervised by qualified personnel. Follow official equipment safety guidance.
Record your engineering notes
Capture a hypothesis, your observations, test evidence, failure cases or the next experiment. These notes stay in your browser unless you export them.
Knowledge check
Which factor should a planner evaluate?
Practice quizzes are formative and can be retried. Answers are evaluated in your browser; they are not proctored exams.
