Abstract
The scientific and technological development, together with the world of robotics, is constantly evolving, driven by the need to find new solutions and by the ambition of human beings to develop systems with increasingly efficiency. Consequently, it is necessary to develop planning algorithms capable of effectively and safely move a robot within a given non structured scene. Moreover, despite of the several robotic solutions available, there are still challenges to standardise a development technique able to obviate some pitfalls and limitations present in the robotic world. The Robotic Operative System (ROS) arise as the obvious solution in this regard. Throughout this project it was developed and implemented a double A* path planning methodology for automatic manipulators in the industrial environment. In this paper, it will be presented an approach with enough flexibility to be potentially applicable to different handling scenarios normally found in industrial environment.
