Original abstract

We present cuRoboV2-Fast, a GPU-accelerated planner that reduces both planning latency and execution time for collision-free, payload-aware, torque-limited motions. B-spline trajectory optimization reduces the required iterations, while accelerated robot computations and differentiable inverse dynamics reduce refinement cost and accommodate changing payloads. TimeOpt optimizes traversal speed along the fixed path under sampled velocity, acceleration, jerk, and torque constraints, exploiting local spline support to solve banded Newton systems efficiently on the GPU. With a 3,kg payload, cuRoboV2-Fast achieves 4.4 ms mean planning time on RTX 5090, 14.7x faster than cuRoboV2. Our method on Jetson AGX Orin plans faster than cuRoboV1 + TOPPRA on RTX 5090. A stereo-camera-based deployment on YAM achieves 5.93 s mean completed pick-and-drop cycles, 34.6% shorter than cuRoboV2.
