A Python collection of common robotics path planning algorithms, covering search-based methods (Dijkstra, A* and variants, D* Lite) and sampling-based methods (RRT family, FMT*, BIT*), each with animated visualizations. It serves as an educational reference with links to the underlying papers.

Use cases

• learn how A* and its variants work with visual animations
• compare RRT, RRT* and informed RRT* implementations
• prototype path planning for a robot navigation project
• study D* Lite and replanning algorithms for dynamic environments
• find reference implementations of sampling-based motion planners
• teach path planning algorithms in a robotics course

When to choose

• you want readable, educational implementations of classic planners with visual feedback
• you need a reference to compare against your own planner implementation
• you are studying or teaching search-based and sampling-based planning algorithms

When to avoid

• you need a production-grade, performant planner for a real robot
• you need 3D planning or integration with ROS out of the box
• you need actively maintained code with new features
