New dissertation uses neural nets for real-time robot safety navigation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new dissertation introduces a method for real-time robot navigation in unknown and dynamic environments by training neural implicit representations on Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) reachability solutions. This approach allows optimization-based controllers to access safety information in real-time, which is crucial for avoiding collisions when geometric checks are insufficient due to speed or motion dynamics. The learned representations are used as constraints in model predictive control and safety filters, demonstrating improved collision avoidance compared to traditional methods, especially in scenarios with moving obstacles and short prediction horizons.

    Learning Reachability-Based Safety Representations for Real-Time Robot Navigation in Unknown and Dynamic Environments

    arXiv:2610.16522v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Safe robot navigation in unknown, dynamic environments requires more than geometric collision checking: a robot still far from an obstacle may be unable to avoid it because of its speed, orientation, or the obstacle's moti…
