Abstract

This article describes a benchmark of motion planners available in ROS MoveIt!. The benchmark exercise has been done with planners’ configured to be optimal for a planning scene imitating conditions in a greenhouse during the real process of picking a tomato with a robotic arm. It provides an overview of the available motion planners, analysis of benchmark results and further validation of the most suitable planners with the use of a real 6 DOF robotic arm. Presented experimental results include time of planning, time of generated plan simplification, time of plan execution and time of processing in a cycle composed of start-goal-start poses movement. Obtained results allow to compare efficiency, repeatability and usefulness of particular planners in a use case of robotic tomato harvesting or in similar pick and place tasks.
