Motion Planning for Deformable Objects without Modelling

A novel motion planning algorithm to manipulate deformable objects without expensive modeling or simulating deformation
OpenRAVE C++


Developed a concept of Deformation Cost, taking into acccount the deformabillity and the sensitivity of every voxel of an object which when combined with usual A* heuristic for path length enables non-expensive motion planning for deformable objects. Also implemented a true collision check.
