#### How to deal with obstacles in Trajectory Optimization?

In this tutorial, I show how to deal with obstacles in TO. Let's consider a robot moving in a 2D space. The robot needs to avoid rectangle obstacles. Here, I assume that the shape of the obstacles is represented by its lower left and upper right points, $$\left(x_{\min }, y_{\min }\right)$$ and \...
