About:
OMPL is a C++ library for sampling-based motion planning, implementing algorithms like RRT, PRM, and KPIECE. It decouples the representation of the environment and the robot from the planning algorithm itself, providing a flexible framework for complex robotic systems. The library is designed to be integrated into larger systems like MoveIt! and OpenRAVE.
Key Features:
  • Modular C++ library design
  • Standard algorithms (RRT, PRM, EST, etc.)
  • Benchmarking tools included
  • Python bindings available
Use Cases:
  • Robot arm path planning in cluttered environments
  • Autonomous vehicle navigation
  • Computational biology (protein folding simulations)
Alternatives:
  • MoveIt! – Higher-level framework that uses OMPL for planning
  • OpenRAVE – Full simulation environment with built-in planning
