path planning

Post by mfrz »

Hi coppelia,,

I'm working with quadcopter in vrep. I have two questions.

1. Regarding the path planning, can I specify or determine my own path?
Meaning that I create the path by myself.
Because if I looked at the example about path planning, the path is generated automatically while avoiding the obstacle.

2. If I'm using the path planning to move the quadcopter, does it mean I don't need to use the Quadcopter_target (green_sphere) ?

Thanks.

Hello,

yes, you can of course also create your own path object, or your own path data structure, then have the green sphere follow that path object or that path data structure.

You have actually many different ways to do things. The best is to always consider the task in a separate manner: first handle the path planning. This will give you a path. From there, you can have your quadcopter follow the path in many different ways (dynamically/non-dynamically), depending on what you want to do.

Cheers
