Summary

We present an optimization-based motion planning algorithm for high degree-of-freedom (DOF) robots. Our approach combines multi-contact dynamics formulation with optimization-based planning to compute collision-free, smooth and dynamically stable trajectories.
Our ITOMP Motion Planner is implemented as a plug-in of MoveIt! Motion Planning Framework on ROS Hydro.

ITOMP Features

ITOMP is an optimization-based algorithm and its objective function consists of cost functions for following constraints.
