This paper introduces a new method for robot motion planning and navigation in uneven environments through a surfel representation of underlying point clouds. The proposed method addresses the shortcomings of state-of-the-art navigation methods by incorporating both kinematic and physical constraints of a robot with standard motion planning algorithms (e.g., those from the Open Motion Planning Lib...
