Genetic Algorithm | UR5 Robot | Motion Planning for Robots

Genetic Algorithm is a nature inspired algorithm used for optimization and search. Genetic Algorithm returns good solutions which may not always be optimal. In this video, a Path Planning algorithm for ROS (Robot Operating System) based UR5 Robot Simulation is implemented which uses Genetic Algorithm to optimize the control points of a Bezier Curve which plans a path for the robot end effector.
