How do a robot’s physical limits, like speed and turning ability, influence its chosen path?

In what ways do a robot's motion constraints act as critical parameters that shape feasible and optimal paths during navigation?

These constraints directly dictate feasible paths. A path must respect the robot's minimum turning radius, maximum acceleration, and kinematic model (e.g., differential drive vs. omnidirectional). Planning algorithms (like state-space RRT or curvature-constrained planners) must incorporate these limits to generate trajectories the robot can actually follow, avoiding impossible sharp turns or unstable high-speed sections.
