Fast Motion Planning for Non-Holonomic Mobile Robots Via a Rectangular Corridor Representation of Structured Environments

ICRA 2026poster

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 struggle with scalability, while many kinematically-feasible planners impose a significant computational burden due to th…

Safe Motion Planning and Control Using Predictive and Adaptive Barrier Methods for Autonomous Surface Vessels

IROS 2025

Safe motion planning is essential for autonomous vessel operations, especially in challenging spaces such as narrow inland waterways. However, conventional motion planning approaches are often computationally intensive or overly conservative. This paper proposes a safe motion planning strategy combi

Robust Model Predictive Control with Control Barrier Functions for Autonomous Surface Vessels

ICRA 2024poster

In autonomous robot navigation, the trajectories from path planners are considered to be safe regions, and deviations could endanger vessels. Model Predictive Control (MPC) stands as a popular choice for trajectory tracking problems as it naturally addresses operational constraints, such as dynamics…

Deep Reinforcement Learning Based Tracking Control of an Autonomous Surface Vessel in Natural Waters

ICRA 2023poster

Accurate control of autonomous marine robots still poses challenges due to the complex dynamics of the environment. In this paper, we propose a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) approach to train a controller for autonomous surface vessel (ASV) trajectory tracking and compare its performance with an…
