Does this project support real-time point cloud import?

"Actual robots are context-rich, and ROS can reference the PCL point cloud library and display it in RViz. However, I haven't found this feature in many open-source projects. I wonder if PyroboPlan supports real-time transmission of point cloud information into the environment. This way, the project can drive the actual robots to move."

Importing point clouds and using them for collision detection/avoidance would be great -- I have this issue tracking that: #57

As for real-time, this may not be the tool for that. This is an educational library fully written in Python and it's almost certainly too slow to work on real robots.

You may want to consider using something like MoveIt for working on real robots.

Thank you very much for your response. I am very interested in this project. Although it does not support real-time point cloud integration, I still want to try and see if I can use this project in my own work.
