Abstract

In this paper, we introduce initial work on an anytime optimal sampling-based planning algorithm, Batch Informed Trees (BIT*). BIT* unifies the developments of Optimal RRT (RRT*) and Fast Marching Trees (FMT*) while extending them with a heuristic. An overview of the algorithm and some initial results are presented, along with a discussion of ongoing future work. As is demonstrated, this new algorithm shows promise compared to RRT* and FMT* in terms of computational cost required to find equivalent solutions.
