Public Member Functions
	BiEST (const base::SpaceInformationPtr &si)
	Constructor.

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

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

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	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).

	Planner (SpaceInformationPtr si, std::string name)
	Constructor.

	Destructor.

	Cast this instance to a desired type. More...

template<class T >
const T *	as () const
	Cast this instance to a desired type. More...

const SpaceInformationPtr &	getSpaceInformation () const
	Get the space information this planner is using.

const ProblemDefinitionPtr &	getProblemDefinition () const
	Get the problem definition the planner is trying to solve.

ProblemDefinitionPtr &	getProblemDefinition ()
	Get the problem definition the planner is trying to solve.

const PlannerInputStates &	getPlannerInputStates () const
	Get the planner input states.

virtual void	setProblemDefinition (const ProblemDefinitionPtr &pdef)
	Set the problem definition for the planner. The problem needs to be set before calling solve(). Note: If this problem definition replaces a previous one, it may also be necessary to call clear() or clearQuery().

PlannerStatus	solve (const PlannerTerminationConditionFn &ptc, double checkInterval)
	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().

const std::string &	getName () const
	Get the name of the planner.

void	setName (const std::string &name)
	Set the name of the planner.

const PlannerSpecs &	getSpecs () const
	Return the specifications (capabilities of this planner)

virtual void	checkValidity ()
	Check to see if the planner is in a working state (setup has been called, a goal was set, the input states seem to be in order). In case of error, this function throws an exception.

bool	isSetup () const
	Check if setup() was called for this planner.

ParamSet &	params ()
	Get the parameters for this planner.

const ParamSet &	params () const
	Get the parameters for this planner.

const PlannerProgressProperties &	getPlannerProgressProperties () const
	Retrieve a planner's planner progress property map.

virtual void	printProperties (std::ostream &out) const
	Print properties of the motion planner.

virtual void	printSettings (std::ostream &out) const
	Print information about the motion planner's settings.

Protected Member Functions
double	distanceFunction (const Motion a, const Motion b) const

	Free the memory allocated by this planner.

	Add a motion to the exploration tree.

template<typename T , typename PlannerType , typename SetterType >
void	declareParam (const std::string &name, const PlannerType &planner, const SetterType &setter, const std::string &rangeSuggestion="")
	This function declares a parameter for this planner instance, and specifies the setter function.

Detailed Description

Bi-directional Expansive Space Trees.

Short description: EST is a tree-based motion planner that attempts to detect the less explored area of the space by measuring the density of the explored space, biasing exploration toward parts of the space with lowest density.
