Bezier Curve

A parametric curve defined by control points, commonly used for smooth trajectory generation. Quadratic and cubic Bezier curves are the most common: they guarantee smooth interpolation through endpoints with derivative boundary conditions. In robot path planning, Bezier curves generate smooth, differentiable trajectories for Cartesian and joint space motion.
