RRTstar (const base::SpaceInformationPtr &si)

void getPlannerData (base::PlannerData &data) const override
Get information about the current run of the motion planner. Repeated calls to this function will update data (only additions are made). This is useful to see what changed in the exploration datastructure, between calls to solve(), for example (without calling clear() in between).

base::PlannerStatus solve (const base::PlannerTerminationCondition &ptc) override
Function that can solve the motion planning problem. This function can be called multiple times on the same problem, without calling clear() in between. This allows the planner to continue work for more time on an unsolved problem, for example. If this option is used, it is assumed the problem definition is not changed (unpredictable results otherwise). The only change in the problem definition that is accounted for is the addition of starting or goal states (but not changing previously added start/goal states). If clearQuery() is called, the planner may retain prior datastructures generated from a previous query on a new problem definition. The function terminates if the call to ptc returns true.

void clear () override
Clear all internal datastructures. Planner settings are not affected. Subsequent calls to solve() will ignore all previous work.

void setup () override
Perform extra configuration steps, if needed. This call will also issue a call to ompl::base::SpaceInformation::setup() if needed. This must be called before solving.

void setGoalBias (double goalBias)
Set the goal bias. More...

double getGoalBias () const
Get the goal bias the planner is using.

void setRange (double distance)
Set the range the planner is supposed to use. More...

double getRange () const
Get the range the planner is using.

void setRewireFactor (double rewireFactor)
Set the rewiring scale factor, s, such that r_rrg = s \times r_rrg* (or k_rrg = s \times k_rrg*)

double getRewireFactor () const
Set the rewiring scale factor, s, such that r_rrg = s \times r_rrg* > r_rrg* (or k_rrg = s \times k_rrg* > k_rrg*)

template<template< typename T > class NN>
void setNearestNeighbors ()
Set a different nearest neighbors datastructure.

void setDelayCC (bool delayCC)
Option that delays collision checking procedures. When it is enabled, all neighbors are sorted by cost. The planner then goes through this list, starting with the lowest cost, checking for collisions in order to find a parent. The planner stops iterating through the list when a collision free parent is found. This prevents the planner from collision checking each neighbor, reducing computation time in scenarios where collision checking procedures are expensive.

bool getDelayCC () const
Get the state of the delayed collision checking option.

void setTreePruning (bool prune)
Controls whether the tree is pruned during the search. This pruning removes a vertex if and only if it and all its descendents passes the pruning condition. The pruning condition is whether the lower-bounding estimate of a solution constrained to pass the the vertex is greater than the current solution. Considering the descendents of a vertex prevents removing a descendent that may actually be capable of later providing a better solution once its incoming path passes through a different vertex (e.g., a change in homotopy class).

bool getTreePruning () const
Get the state of the pruning option.

void setPruneThreshold (const double pp)
Set the fractional change in solution cost necessary for pruning to occur, i.e., prune if the new solution is at least X% better than the old solution. (e.g., 0.0 will prune after every new solution, while 1.0 will never prune.)

double getPruneThreshold () const
Get the current prune states percentage threshold parameter.

void setPrunedMeasure (bool informedMeasure)
Use the measure of the pruned subproblem instead of the measure of the entire problem domain (if such an expression exists and a solution is present). Currently the only method to calculate this measure in closed-form is through a informed sampler, so this option also requires that.

bool getPrunedMeasure () const
Get the state of using the pruned measure.

void setInformedSampling (bool informedSampling)
Use direct sampling of the heuristic for the generation of random samples (e.g., x_rand). If a direct sampling method is not defined for the objective, rejection sampling will be used by default.

bool getInformedSampling () const
Get the state direct heuristic sampling.

void setSampleRejection (bool reject)
Controls whether heuristic rejection is used on samples (e.g., x_rand)

bool getSampleRejection () const
Get the state of the sample rejection option.

void setNewStateRejection (const bool reject)
Controls whether heuristic rejection is used on new states before connection (e.g., x_new = steer(x_nearest, x_rand))

bool getNewStateRejection () const
Get the state of the new-state rejection option.

Controls whether pruning and new-state rejection uses an admissible cost-to-come estimate or not.

Get the admissibility of the pruning and new-state rejection heuristic.

void setOrderedSampling (bool orderSamples)
Controls whether samples are returned in ordered by the heuristic. This is accomplished by generating a batch at a time.

bool getOrderedSampling () const
Get the state of sample ordering.

void setBatchSize (unsigned int batchSize)
Set the batch size used for sample ordering.

unsigned int getBatchSize () const
Get the batch size used for sample ordering.

void setFocusSearch (const bool focus)
A meta parameter to focusing the search to improving the current solution. This is the parameter set by CFOREST. For RRT*, search focusing consists of pruning the existing search and limiting future search. Specifically, this is accomplished by turning on informed sampling, tree pruning and new-state rejection. This flag individually sets the options described above.

bool getFocusSearch () const
Get the state of search focusing.

void setKNearest (bool useKNearest)
Use a k-nearest search for rewiring instead of a r-disc search.

bool getKNearest () const
Get the state of using a k-nearest search for rewiring.

void setNumSamplingAttempts (unsigned int numAttempts)
Set the number of attempts to make while performing rejection or informed sampling.

unsigned int getNumSamplingAttempts () const
Get the number of attempts to make while performing rejection or informed sampling.

unsigned int numIterations () const

ompl::base::Cost bestCost () const

Same as above except the termination condition is only evaluated at a specified interval.

PlannerStatus solve (double solveTime)
Same as above except the termination condition is solely a time limit: the number of seconds the algorithm is allowed to spend planning.

virtual void clearQuery ()
Clears internal datastructures of any query-specific information from the previous query. Planner settings are not affected. The planner, if able, should retain all datastructures generated from previous queries that can be used to help solve the next query. Note that clear() should also clear all query-specific information along with all other datastructures in the planner. By default clearQuery() calls clear().

Computes the solution cost heuristically as the cost to come from start to the motion plus the cost to go from the motion to the goal. If the parameter use_admissible_heuristic (setAdmissibleCostToCome()) is true, a heuristic estimate of the cost to come is used; otherwise, the current cost to come to the motion is used (which may overestimate the cost through the motion).

Add the children of a vertex to the given list.

bool keepCondition (const Motion *motion, const base::Cost &threshold) const
