Non-blocking multi-agent collision avoidance running in deterministic execution time regardless of local robot density.
Each robot assumes neighboring agents will share equal responsibility for collision avoidance. By solving a 2D linear program over half-plane constraints, ORCA guarantees collision-free velocity selection in under 200 microseconds.
Unlike theoretical ORCA formulations that assume instant velocity changes, RealtimeSwarm clips velocity targets against physical wheel torque and motor current limits, preventing motor stall or wheel slip.
