In response to staff shortages in hospitals, healthcare providers aim at increasingly automating their systems. Defining the path of automated systems – avoiding collisions – typically requires a dynamic model of the system and a second layer that optimizes the path under constraints. We have found that the Julia ecosystem – that allows for both physical modeling and programming capabilities – enabled a fast (5x) and robust solving of this path planning problem.
