This papers describes RRT algorithm, modifies RRT algorithm by applying gradient descent method for generating the path. Simulations are run in iterations and the results are compared with and without gradient descent. Finally this paper concludes with advantages and limitations of the gradient approach. � 2018 IEEE.Gradient descent in sample-based single-query path planning algorithmBook chapter
