• Abstract: This paper focuses on Passable Obstacles Aware (POA) planner - a novel navigation method for two-wheeled robots in a highly cluttered environment. The navigation algorithm detects and classifies objects to distinguish two types of obstacles - passable and unpassable. Our algorithm allows two-wheeled robots to find a path through passable obstacles. Such a solution helps the robot working in areas inaccessible to standard path planners and find optimal trajectories in scenarios with a high number of objects in the robot's vicinity. The POA planner can be embedded into other planning algorithms and enables them to build a path through obstacles. Our method decreases path length and the total travel time to the final destination up to 43% and 39%, respectively, comparing to standard path planners such as GVD, A*, and RRT*

  In a horizon, the path planning and the path execution interleave, meaning when the path planning occurs for robots with no paths, the robots with outstanding paths do not execute. We propose a centralized algorithm that is not horizon-based. It plans paths at any time for a subset of robots with no paths, who have reached their previously assigned goals, while the rest execute their outstanding paths.

  We present an end-to-end online motion planning framework that uses a data-driven approach to navigate a heterogeneous robot team towards a global goal. We use model predictive control (SMPC) to calculate control inputs that satisfy robot dynamics, and consider uncertainty during obstacle avoidance with chance constraints. recurrent neural networks are used to provide a quick estimate of future state uncertainty considered in the SMPC finite-time horizon solution. A Deep Q-learning agent is employed to serve as a high-level path planner, providing the SMPC with target positions that move the robots towards a desired global goal.
