We present an approach that generates kinodynamically feasible paths for robots using Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (RRT). We leverage motion primitives as a way to capture the dynamics of the robot and use these motion primitives to build branches of the tree with RRT. Since every branch is built using the robot's motion primitives that doesn't lead to collision with obstacles, the resulting path is guaranteed to satisfy the robot's kinodynamic constraints and thus be feasible for navigation without any post-processing on the generated trajectory. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in simulated 2D environments using simple robot models with a variety of motion primitives.
