Description

Hi,

Is it possible to use faster as a 3D planning algorithm for a drone, so that it can evade obstacles vertically? I have tried faster in a couple of worlds and it seems like it plans only in a plane towards the goal, and doesn't deviate it's height from that plane? I have used faster with the default values as given in the faster.yaml file, and only changed the maximum z coordinate (z_max) to a height that fits to my worlds.

Best wishes,
Karolin

Research direction

Start with faster.yaml and reproduce the reported behavior in the tested worlds using a larger z_max. Trace how the planner handles the drone’s vertical coordinate and obstacle avoidance, then establish whether 3D detours are supported; done means the capability or limitation is clearly demonstrated with a reproducible result.
