moveit/moveit2 is an open-source framework that plans paths for robot arms in ROS 2 and runs manipulation applications. It is written in C++ and carries the BSD-3-Clause license. The repository was created on February 15, 2019 and currently has 2080 stars, but the research record lists no new release version.

The README describes the repository as a robotics manipulation platform for commercial application development, design prototyping and algorithm benchmarking. The repository description states that the project is MoveIt for ROS 2. Instructions for binary installation and source builds, together with tutorials, documentation and guidance for generating API Doxygen pages, are laid out in the repository, so the starting procedure can be confirmed from the documentation. Motion planning is the step that computes the path a robot arm takes to move toward a target pose, and this repository covers path planning and the application execution that runs that path in one place.

That said, the momentum score left in the research record is low at 1.7 out of 10. No novelty, technology or quality score is given, so this single item is the only basis for the evaluation. There is also no release record, which leaves no baseline for tracking newly arrived changes. The C++ and BSD-3-Clause terms are clear, but while no movement has been confirmed, it is too early to draw conclusions about where this repository is headed.
