2. RapidPlan Control

2.1. Major Improvements

✅ Render autoconnects and routes on canvas

  • when we have an obstacle to the robot's move, the robot will bypass it using an autoconnect

  • we used to get the position of nodes via targets but now nodes have position and we use them to draw the lines

  • all edges are shown in the Robots tab

  • only the autoconnects are shown in the Connections tab

    Now users can see the autoconnects and routes on RapidPlan Control
