path planning of robot arm with collision avoidance

Hi guys,
i want to develop an algorithm to plan a path for the robot arm's tcp to avoid collisions using matlab, is there a good function or toolbox for this?
i am currently using robotics toolbox.
I can check for collisions in the link above, but I need to give a separate intermediate destination to avoid collisions. Is there an algorithm to automate all this?
This link shows how to manually create a non-conflicting trajectory, but it doesn't seem to be as efficient as I would expect.
I would like to know if there is an algorithm or toolbox that can automatically plan a path or trajectory with collision avoidance and if not, what functions or toolboxes can help for this purpose? i searched about that but couldn't find somthing helpful.
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Jaeho,
I understand that you need to implement path panning for a robotic arm, along with collision avoidance. To do so, you can use the “Probabilistic Roadmap” method (PRM). The PRM algorithm uses the network of connected nodes to find an obstacle-free path from a start to an end location.
The code snippet below shows how to do it:
startLocation = [2 1];
endLocation = [12 10];
path = findpath(prmSimple,startLocation,endLocation);
show(prmSimple)
For building the environment you will need to give the environment and number of points as input to the PRM.
For more details, please refer to the following documentation, https://www.mathworks.com/help/robotics/ug/probabilistic-roadmaps-prm.html
Hope this helps!
Best Regards,
Aryan Gupta
