Online High-Level Model Estimation for Efficient Hierarchical Robot Navigation

We would like to enable a robot to navigate efficiently and robustly in known, structured environments that are large enough to cause traditional planning approaches to incur considerable computational cost. Hierarchical planners are a promising way to increase planning efficiency in such environments because high-level abstract plans can be used to reduce the size of the search space over which d...
