What it does
- Generates headlands, swaths, an optimized route and a drivable path with feasible turns for a given field and vehicle.
- Modular pipeline where headland, swath, route and path planning can be used separately or through a single planCovPath call.
- Handles non-convex fields and obstacles through trapezoidal and boustrophedon decomposition.
- Optimizes routes with OR-tools and offers classic patterns such as boustrophedon, snake and spiral.
- Produces kinematically feasible turns using Dubins and Reeds-Shepp curves.
- Provides a common framework for implementing and comparing coverage path planning algorithms, with a C++17 core and a ROS 2 integration.
