GCS Mathematical Framework Demo
GCS Mathematical Framework Demo is a free, interactive learning demo from the Motion Planning with Graphs of Convex Sets course on Lykke. It helps you build intuition for Convex Decomposition, Perspective Functions, Mixed-Integer Programming, Convex Hull. Play with it directly in your browser — it features 1 button, direct drag interaction and a live visual canvas. Drag Vertices to reshape convex space. This demo lives in the “The GCS Mathematical Framework” section of the course.

How to use this demo
- Drag Vertices to reshape convex space.
- Click and drag directly on the canvas to manipulate the scene.
- Use the “Reset Demo” button to trigger actions or reset the demo.
- Experiment freely — there's nothing to break, and every change is reversible.
What you'll explore
- Convex Decomposition
- Perspective Functions
- Mixed-Integer Programming
- Convex Hull
Frequently asked questions
What does the GCS Mathematical Framework Demo demo do?
Introduction to the core mechanics of Graphs of Convex Sets, including convex decomposition and the shortest path formulation. GCS Mathematical Framework Demo turns that idea into something you can manipulate directly and watch respond.
What Motion Planning with Graphs of Convex Sets concept does GCS Mathematical Framework Demo teach?
Introduction to the core mechanics of Graphs of Convex Sets, including convex decomposition and the shortest path formulation. It focuses on Convex Decomposition, Perspective Functions, Mixed-Integer Programming, Convex Hull from the “The GCS Mathematical Framework” section.
What can I control in GCS Mathematical Framework Demo?
You can drag elements directly on the canvas; the “Reset Demo” button run actions or reset the demo. Every change updates the visualization in real time, so you can see exactly how each variable affects the outcome.
How does GCS Mathematical Framework Demo fit into the Motion Planning with Graphs of Convex Sets course?
This course explores the Graphs of Convex Sets (GCS) framework, a revolutionary approach to motion planning that unifies discrete graph search with continuous trajectory optimization. It addresses the fundamental challe… This demo is the interactive piece for the “The GCS Mathematical Framework” section.

What will I understand better after using GCS Mathematical Framework Demo?
You'll build intuition for Convex Decomposition, Perspective Functions, Mixed-Integer Programming, Convex Hull — and, crucially, see how they behave when you change the inputs, which is hard to get from a textbook or lecture on Motion Planning with Graphs of Convex Sets alone.
