FASTER is a C++/ROS 3D trajectory planner for fast and safe navigation of UAVs and ground robots in unknown environments, published in IEEE T-RO. It computes dynamically feasible trajectories that guarantee safety via a backup trajectory while optimizing the primary path.
Use cases
- plan 3d trajectories for a drone in unknown environments
- autonomous navigation for uavs with obstacle avoidance
- trajectory optimization for a ground robot
- safe flight planning with guaranteed feasibility
- ros-based motion planning for quadrotors
- navigate drones through unmapped cluttered spaces
When to choose
- you need a research-grade trajectory planner for UAVs or ground robots in unknown or partially mapped environments
- your stack is ROS-based on Ubuntu and you can use Gurobi for optimization
- you want provably safe trajectories with a backup-plan mechanism
When to avoid
- you need a plug-and-play planner without ROS or Gurobi dependencies
- you target Windows/macOS or non-ROS robotics frameworks
- you need a maintained production planner with recent ROS 2 support out of the box
