    Robotics Toolbox for Python

  • I’d suggest looking in some of the free robotics frameworks out there, particularly Python and Matlab. These would allow you to fully focus on the cartesian planning problem. https://github.com/petercorke/robotics-toolbox-python is one such framework with minimal learning curve.

  • moveit

    :robot: The MoveIt motion planning framework

  • MoveIt provides this through IterativeParabolicTimeParameterization. You can use this implementation as a reference, if you want to have an in depth understanding of how a trajectory is generated.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
