Real-time Velocity Profile Optimization for Time-Optimal Maneuvering with Generic Acceleration Constraints
Mattia Piazza, Mattia Piccinini, Sebastiano Taddei +2
The computation of time-optimal velocity profiles along prescribed paths, subject to generic acceleration constraints, is a crucial problem in robot trajectory planning, with parti…
Kineto-Dynamical Planning and Accurate Execution of Minimum-Time Maneuvers on Three-Dimensional Circuits
Mattia Piccinini, Sebastiano Taddei, Johannes Betz +1
Online planning and execution of minimum-time maneuvers on three-dimensional (3D) circuits is an open challenge in autonomous vehicle racing. In this paper, we present an artificia…
Model-Structured Neural Networks to Control the Steering Dynamics of Autonomous Race Cars
Mattia Piccinini, Aniello Mungiello, Georg Jank +3
Autonomous racing has gained increasing attention in recent years, as a safe environment to accelerate the development of motion planning and control methods for autonomous driving…
Biasing the Driving Style of an Artificial Race Driver for Online Time-Optimal Maneuver Planning
Sebastiano Taddei, Mattia Piccinini, Francesco Biral
In this work, we present a novel approach to bias the driving style of an artificial race driver (ARD) for online time-optimal trajectory planning. Our method leverages a nonlinear…
