Start with the environment
Edit occupancy grids and choose start and goal positions directly in the planning workspace.
Part of METRLab · An independent desktop workbench
Find a path.
Understand the search.
Draw the environment, choose a planner and explore how a route emerges. A visual lab for path-planning algorithms.
Explore the workbench ↗01 / Your workbench
Actual desktop appTurn a map into an experiment.
Captured from the actual Qt application. Not a browser-based simulator or mock interface.
02 / A little more clarityRoom to explore.
Room to explore.
Tools to understand.
One focused app, connected to a family of engineering workbenches. Install what you need; keep each app independent.
Compare search strategies
Explore A* and Dijkstra alongside supported PRM, PRM*, RRT and RRT* planners.
Look inside the process
Inspect the planner’s map, search structures and resulting route using the existing visual controls.
Repeat the experiment
Save planning documents and return to bundled grid examples with the same environment and parameters.
03 / Standalone, by design
A workbench of its own.
METRLab Home is optional.
The app runs independently.
Apple Silicon target
Navigation for macOS
Standalone installer not yet published
The page is ready; the installer is not. A download will be enabled only after a native build is packaged and verified.
x86-64 target
Navigation for Linux
Standalone installer not yet published
No Linux binary is attached to this page. Platform verification is separate from product-page availability.
Honest about the boundaries.
Educational software, under active development.
What is supported?
A teaching and experimentation tool, not a real-world navigation or obstacle-avoidance safety system. Sampling-based planners do not guarantee a solution in a bounded run.
Do I need METRLab Home?
No. Each workbench is a separate application. Home is an optional launcher that discovers installed apps and links to pages for the others.
Is my work uploaded?
Normal editing and simulation use local documents. Optional connected features have their own configuration; these product pages contain no analytics, account system or upload form.
Can I download it yet?
Not from this page yet. The first packaged preview is Circuits; other standalone app installers require their own native build and verification.
