Planning and Control
Algorithms and systems that decide what the robot should do and how it should move.
What is this category for?
- Motion planning, trajectory generation, and navigation
- Control systems, stability, tuning, and behavior control
- Decision making structures such as behavior trees or state machines
What belongs here?
Discussions of planners like A*, RRT, MPC, and others
Controller design and tuning, such as PID, LQR, or model based control
Behavior and task planning, for example state machines, behavior trees, and hierarchical control
Debugging unstable control loops, oscillations, or planning failures
What does not belong here?
- Sensor hardware, noise, and wiring issues (use Sensing and Actuation)
- Pure module structure topics (use Module Design)
- Story style deployment write ups (use Case Sharing)
Here are some things you can do in this category:
Post logs, plots, or videos of planning and control issues and ask for help interpreting them.
Compare algorithms and share why you chose one approach over another.
Discuss theory with practice by linking formulas, implementations, and real outcomes.
Please include robot type, environment, and relevant parameters when you ask for help. This context makes it much easier for others to assist you.
