Safely memorize new static obstacles and filter out dynamic ones

  • Our algorithms differentiate static obstacles from dynamic ones by analyzing the pattern of their appearances in the robot’s sensory inputs.
  • Smart memorization of new static obstacles reduces the need to look for detours, while not overloading the map, thereby preventing the robot from becoming blocked.
  • Effective filtering of dynamic obstacles helps to avoid excessive re-planning and allows for smooth motion in cluttered and populated environments.

Smooth and fast trajectory planning

Our local planner calculates smooth and time-efficient trajectories at a high update frequency.

  • Rapid, continuous computation of the trajectory ensures immediate and seamless responses to environmental changes.
  • We compute smooth, differentiable control inputs that adhere to the robot’s kinematic constraints, ensuring safe and consistent motion.
  • We have presented our approach at a peer-reviewed international conference (see our paper).

Next feature: Predictive safety system↓

Multi-level safety control, adaptive to the rate of changes in the surroundings

  • Future configurations are constantly modeled in advance to predict possible collisions and re-plan without pausing the motion;
  • When re-planning without a pause in motion is not possible, smooth braking and restart procedures are used;
  • Our planner uses direct inputs from the sensors to detect oncoming collisions, minimizing the overhead of the reaction.
