Zonal RL-RRT is a new path‑planning algorithm that partitions a map into zones using kd‑tree partitioning and employs Value Iteration as a high‑level decision maker. The method achieves a three‑fold improvement in time efficiency over basic sampling methods such as RRT and RRT* in forest‑like maps, and outperforms heuristic‑guided methods like BIT* and Informed RRT* by 1.5× in runtime while maintaining robust success rates across 2D to 6D environments. It also shows on average a 1.5× better performance than learning‑based methods such as NeuralRRT* and MPNetSMP, and has been validated in simulations of a UR10e arm manipulator in MuJoCo.
