A* Pathplanning

[aiman]

Hi, I am trying to use the a* algorithm for path planning. But i'm not sure how to implement this algorithm here in v-rep.
Is it possible for anyone to give me tips, examples or any tutorials on how to implement the A* pathplanning algorithm here in v-rep?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

the best would be to proceed in a similar way as in this post in order to obtain the discretized map of the environment.

Thanks. Is it possible if proximity sensors are used instead of vision sensors?

Yes, you can also use proximity sensors. But you will have to scan with it over the terrain in a grid-like fashion, in order to obtain a binary map.
