[Robotics] Project I wish to do for Blender for better Robot Navigation

[Aris Synodinos]

Dear Shreedhar,
Although I believe that your contribution in blender would be very helpful,
I would recommend to you to use Gazebo and ROS for such matters, since the
robotics community there is much more developed and more users would be
able to profit from your contribution in such matters.
Others have already implemented navigation/motion planning algorithms in
VGAs (CUDA and OpenCL) in various algorithms so I would suggest a proper
state of the art before starting to see what is already out there.
Best regards and good luck in your project,
