The Grid-Based Path Planning Competition

While there have been many papers published on path planning in grids, there has not been significant work on comparing existing approaches, and it is difficult to evaluate new work in comparison to existing work. After creating a public repository of grid-based path planning problems we created the grid-based planning competition (GPPC) to facilitate these comparisons. This article describes the motivation and design of the competition, as well as plans for the future of the competition.
