• Abstract: We explore path planning followed by kinodynamic smoothing while ensuring the vehicle dynamics feasibility for MAVs. We have chosen a geometrically based motion planning technique \textquotedblleft RRT*\textquotedblright\; for this purpose. In the proposed technique, we modified original RRT* introducing an adaptive search space and a steering function which help to increase the consistency of the planner. Moreover, we propose multiple RRT* which generates a set of desired paths, provided that the optimal path is selected among them. Then, apply kinodynamic smoothing, which will result in dynamically feasible as well as obstacle-free path. Thereafter, a b spline-based trajectory is generated to maneuver vehicle autonomously in unknown environments. Finally, we have tested the proposed technique in various simulated environments.

Here, we present a search-based method that effectively solves this problem and efficiently searches in a highly dimensional state space.

  STRIVE is a method to automatically generate challenging scenarios that cause a given planner to produce undesirable behavior, like collisions. To maintain scenario plausibility, the key idea is to leverage a learned model of traffic motion in the form of a graph-based conditional VAE. A subsequent optimization is used to find a "solution" to the scenario, ensuring it is useful to improve the given planner.
