Probabilistic Roadmap
The Probabilistic Roadmap (PRM) method is a motion planning algorithm that builds a pre-computed graph (roadmap) of feasible paths through the configuration space by sampling random configurations and connecting them if collision-free. Introduced by Kavraki et al. in 1996, PRM is powerful for multi-query planning scenarios where many path queries are answered, amortizing roadmap construction cost across many queries.
