Summary

cuRoboV2-Fast combines B-spline optimization, differentiable inverse dynamics and traversal-time optimization for payload-aware motion.

With a three-kilogram payload on an RTX 5090, the authors report 4.4 milliseconds mean planning time, 14.7 times faster than cuRoboV2. Their Jetson AGX Orin implementation also plans faster than a cuRoboV1-plus-TOPPRA baseline running on an RTX 5090. In stereo-camera deployment on YAM, mean completed pick-and-drop cycles take 5.93 seconds, 34.6 percent shorter than cuRoboV2. The results concern the tested planner, hardware, payload and tasks; they do not establish collision-free performance for every robot or scene.
