Hybrid Discrete-Continuous Path Planning for Lattice Traversal

Santiago Franco,Julius Sustarevas,Sara Bernardini,Santiago Franco,Julius Sustarevas,Sara Bernardini

Lattice structures allow robotic systems to operate in complex and hazardous environments, e.g. construction, mining and nuclear plants, reliably and effectively. However, current navigation systems for these structures are neither realistic, as they assume simplistic motion primitives and obstacle-free workspaces, nor efficient as they rely solely on global discrete search in an attempt to levera...
