Distributed Motion Planning with Safety Guarantees for Self-Reconfiguring Robotic Boats
Alejandro Gonzalez-Garcia, Wei Wang, Wei Xiao +4
Aquatic self-reconfigurable robots must assemble into desired shapes while ensuring safe interactions among multiple agents. This paper proposes a hybrid framework that combines di…
Safe Polytope-in-Polytope Motion Planning and Control with Control Barrier Functions
Alejandro Gonzalez-Garcia, Dries Dirckx, Jan Swevers +1
Autonomous mobile robots operating in tight environments require motion planning frameworks that account for the physical footprint of the robot. Simplifying the geometry to a poin…
Multi-Agent Motion Planning on Industrial Magnetic Levitation Platforms: A Hybrid ADMM-HOCBF approach
Bavo Tistaert, Stan Servaes, Alejandro Gonzalez-Garcia +4
This paper presents a novel hybrid motion planning method for holonomic multi-agent systems. The proposed decentralised model predictive control (MPC) framework tackles the intract…
Fast Motion Planning for Non-Holonomic Mobile Robots via a Rectangular Corridor Representation of Structured Environments
Alejandro Gonzalez-Garcia, Sebastiaan Wyns, Sonia De Santis +2
We present a complete framework for fast motion planning of non-holonomic autonomous mobile robots in highly complex but structured environments. Conventional grid-based planners s…
Safe Motion Planning and Control Using Predictive and Adaptive Barrier Methods for Autonomous Surface Vessels
Alejandro Gonzalez-Garcia, Wei Xiao, Wei Wang +5
Safe motion planning is essential for autonomous vessel operations, especially in challenging spaces such as narrow inland waterways. However, conventional motion planning approach…
