Kinodynamic
adj ·Rare ·Advanced level
Definitions
- 1 Of or relating to a class of problems, in robotics and motion planning, for which velocity, acceleration, and force/torque bounds must be satisfied, together with kinematic constraints such as avoiding obstacles. not-comparable
"Kinodynamic planning attempts to solve a robot motion problem subject to simultaneous kinematic and dynamics constraints. In the general problem, given a robot system, we must find a minimal-time trajectory that goes from a start position and velocity to a goal position and velocity. While exact solutions to this problem are not known, we provide the first provably-good approximation algorithm. and show that it runs in polynomial time."

Etymology
Coined in a 1993 Journal of the ACM paper (40(5): 1048-1066) by Bruce Donald, Pat Xavier, John Canny, and John Reif. Presumably from kinematic and dynamic.
