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…
Accelerated Multi-Modal Motion Planning Using Context-Conditioned Diffusion Models
Edward Sandra, Lander Vanroye, Dries Dirckx +3
Classical methods in robot motion planning, such as sampling-based and optimization-based methods, often struggle with scalability towards higher-dimensional state spaces and compl…
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…
Decoupling Collision Avoidance in and for Optimal Control using Least-Squares Support Vector Machines
Dries Dirckx, Wilm Decré, Jan Swevers
This paper details an approach to linearise differentiable but non-convex collision avoidance constraints tailored to convex shapes. It revisits introducing differential collision…
