Among the most prevalent motion planning techniques, sampling and trajectory optimization have emerged successful due to their ability to handle tight constraints and high-dimensional systems, respectively ...
We present a unified approach that leverages the complementary strengths of sampling and optimization, and interleaves them both in a manner that is well suited to this challenging problem. ...
Thus our method JIST explores via sampling and exploits via efficient optimization and combines the benefits of both by leveraging a factor graph backbone that dynamically grows and shrinks between iterations ...
