Safe Navigation in Unknown and Cluttered Environments via Direction-Aware Convex Free-Region Generation
Zhicheng Song, Yongjian Li, Kai Chen +3
Convex free regions provide a structured and optimization-friendly representation of collision-free space for robot navigation in unknown and cluttered environments. However, exist…
A Reconfigured Wheel-Legged Robot for Enhanced Steering and Adaptability
Zhicheng Song, Jinglan Xu, Chunxin Zheng +3
Wheel-legged robots integrate leg agility on rough terrain with wheel efficiency on flat ground. However, most existing designs do not fully capitalize on the benefits of both legg…
Fast and Safe Trajectory Optimization for Mobile Manipulators With Neural Configuration Space Distance Field
Yulin Li, Zhiyuan Song, Yiming Li +8
Mobile manipulators promise agile, long-horizon behavior by coordinating base and arm motion, yet whole-body trajectory optimization in cluttered, confined spaces remains difficult…
FRTree Planner: Robot Navigation in Cluttered and Unknown Environments with Tree of Free Regions
Yulin Li, Zhicheng Song, Chunxin Zheng +4
In this work, we present FRTree planner, a novel robot navigation framework that leverages a tree structure of free regions, specifically designed for navigation in cluttered and u…
