Pathfinding in two and three-dimensional spaces using an automated planning service

This invention describes a system that finds paths for objects or agents in 2D or 3D spaces. It works by using a central planning service that breaks down complex pathfinding problems into smaller tasks for multiple 'worker' computers. These workers process parts of the problem, and 'master' computers then coordinate their results to efficiently find paths, especially when many agents need to move without colliding.

Why it matters: The increasing complexity of multi-agent systems in fields like robotics, logistics, and virtual environments since 2021 has amplified the need for scalable, efficient pathfinding. Advances in cloud infrastructure and distributed computing make deploying such a master/worker service more accessible and performant now.
