Which planning scene does Moveit! use to plan a collision-free path?

Dear Community,

I am able to visualize the occupancy grid in rviz after launching moveit with a kinect.

There are two topics for the planning scene: 1. monitoredplanningscene: this one is updated if the env changes in real time 2. planning_scene: this one is kind of static

I want to know when using moveit! to perform collision-free path planning, eg. plan2 = group.plan() python api

Is the path planned against the monitoredplanningscene, which will reflect the current env or against planning_scene which is the first sight of the env when moveit! is launched?

Thank you so much for your help in advance!

It is against the internal moveit planning scene. That should be the one on monitored_planning_scene. The planning_scene topic is an input for moveit, where you can provide changes to moveit's planning scene.
