Basic motion planning problem
With the experiment scene as shown in the following left figure,
the video on the right shows you a planning of the Lazy-PRM planner [5]. 
In the shown scene, the red square is the robot in the start configuration, 
and the green one is the goal. 
 
Path planning problem for closed-chain robots
A 2D closed-chian robot with 12 DOFs, and the path planner used is [12].

Path planning with given end-effector path
A 6-DOF snake like robot moving along a given end-effector path, and the path planner used is [9].

Path planning with general end-effector constraints
Given end-effector position constraints. A 3D PUMA-like robot manipulator
is required to move its end-effector in a plane parallel to the floor. 
In the environment there is a fence around the robot and several other obstacles. 
The start configuration and the goal are in different cells of the fence,
and the robot has to move out of a gap in the fence and go through another gap to reach
the goal.

Given end-effector orient constraints
The shown robot manipulator has kinematic structure similar to that of the Canadarm2, the Space Station
Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS). It has 7 DOFs and the task is to move a
large payload while maintaining the payload orientation upwards. In the figure, the large cylinder
at the tip of SSRMS represents the payload.
