Use motion planning to plan a path through an environment. You can use common sampling-based planners like RRT, RRT*, and Hybrid A*, or specify your own customizable path-planning interfaces. Use path metrics and state validation to ensure your path is valid and has proper obstacle clearance or smoothness. Follow your path and avoid obstacles using pure pursuit and vector field histogram algorithms.
