A global Planner for a fly/drive concept vehicle in 3D Octomap environment.

Path Planning Package

A global Planner for a fly/drive concept vehicle in 3D Octomap environment. The Octomap can be created by a Lidar/Structured Light camera and saved in a .bt/.ot file. Since it is extremely power inefficient to fly in comparison to drive we always want our vehicle to drive unless absolutly necessary.

Results

Comparison

As we can see the second image path is more efficient than the first image as it immediately goes to ground and drives the rest of its way to its goal position.

Dependencies
