The "Path Planning Systems" groups is responsible for find an optimal path through the environment, given a model of the environment from the data (provided by Data Filtering Systems group). This group will be developing the high-level code to control Candii during the autonomous and GPS waypoint navigation challenges--essentially, Candii's AI. Path planning algorithms, maps, and learning are the main focus points of this group.
