Which path planning software supports edge deployment and hardware integration?

Several path planning software options support edge deployment and/or hardware integration, depending on whether you mean robotics, AGVs/AMRs, drones, or autonomous vehicles. Common choices include:

• ROS / ROS 2 with Nav2

  • Strong for robotics path planning and hardware integration
  • Runs on embedded/edge devices like NVIDIA Jetson, Intel NUC, Raspberry Pi (with limits)
  • Integrates with sensors, controllers, and custom hardware through ROS drivers

• Autoware

  • Designed for autonomous driving and robot vehicle stacks
  • Supports edge/on-vehicle deployment
  • Integrates with LiDAR, cameras, GNSS/IMU, and vehicle interfaces

• MoveIt / MoveIt 2

  • For robotic manipulation and motion planning
  • Integrates with industrial robot hardware and controllers
  • Can run on edge systems and be deployed near the robot

• PX4 / ArduPilot (for drones)

  • Path/mission planning for UAVs
  • Deep hardware integration with flight controllers and sensors
  • Runs directly on embedded hardware, with companion computers for advanced planning

• Open-RMF

  • For fleet-level coordination and routing in facilities
  • Integrates with robots and building systems
  • Typically edge-deployed in on-prem environments

• Commercial robotics platforms like:

  • Clearpath software stacks
  • FANUC / ABB / KUKA motion planning and control ecosystems
  • Brain Corp-style autonomy stacks for AMRs
    These often include hardware integration and edge deployment capabilities.

If you want, I can narrow this down by use case:

1. mobile robots / AMRs,
2. robot arms,
3. drones, or
4. autonomous vehicles.
