Moving robots into the future

Incorporating the latest advances in motion planning,
manipulation, 3D perception, kinematics, control and navigation

Watch overview Get Started
  • Motion Planning

    Generate high-degree of freedom trajectories through cluttered environments and avoid local minimums

  • Manipulation

    Analyze and interact with your environment with grasp generation

  • Inverse Kinematics

    Solve for joint positions for a given pose, even in over-actuated arms

  • Control

    Execute time-parameterized joint trajectories to low level hardware controllers through common interfaces

  • 3D Perception

    Connect to depth sensors and point clouds with Octomaps

  • Collision Checking

    Avoid obstacles using geometric primitives, meshes, or point cloud data

3D Interactive Visualizer

Out-of-the box visual demonstrations in Rviz allow new users experimentation with various planning algorithms around obstacles. Execution on physical hardware is then just a click away.

Rviz Motion Planning Plugin
Gazebo Simulation
Cutting edge

Gazebo Simulation

Speed up development and testing cycles by leveraging a full physics-based simulator with MoveIt. Combine Gazebo, ROS Control, and MoveIt for a powerful robotics development platform.

Easy to use

Setup Assistant

Quickly setup any robot to work with MoveIt with the step-by-step configuration wizard, or use popular pre-configured setups. Also includes configuration of Gazebo and ROS Control.

Why MoveIt?

MoveIt is the most widely used software for manipulation and has been used on over 150 robots. It is released under the terms of the BSD license, and thus free for industrial, commercial, and research use.

By incorporating the latest advances in motion planning, manipulation, 3D perception, kinematics, control and navigation, MoveIt is state of the art software for mobile manipulation.
