kinodynamic adjective: of or relating to a class of problems, in robotics and motion planning, for which velocity, acceleration, and force/torque bounds must be satisfied, together with kinematic constraints such as avoiding obstacles.

Adjective

kinodynamic (not comparable)

  1. Of or relating to a class of problems, in robotics and motion planning, for which velocity, acceleration, and force/torque bounds must be satisfied, together with kinematic constraints such as avoiding obstacles.
    • Kinodynamic planning attempts to solve a robot motion problem subject to simultaneous kinematic and dynamics constraints. In the general problem, given a robot system, we must find a minimal-time trajectory that goes from a start position and velocity to a goal position and velocity. While exact...1993, Bruce R.
