Motion planning
Great! So, what else do we need in order to learn ROS manipulation? Well, we'll need to know how to perform motion planning! And what does motion planning mean? Well, it basically means to plan a movement (motion) from point A to point B, without colliding with anything.
In other words, you will need to be able to control the different joints and links of your robot, avoiding collisions between them or with other elements in the environment.
