Unknown-environment navigation · Updating reachability while sensing

The method updates Hamilton–Jacobi safety analysis while an autonomous system senses an initially unknown environment. The authors report planner- and mapping-sensor-independent protection around a vision-based learned planner in simulation and hardware.

Source overview

The method updates Hamilton–Jacobi safety analysis while an autonomous system senses an initially unknown environment. The authors report planner- and mapping-sensor-independent protection around a vision-based learned planner in simulation and hardware.

Use and review

Review covers publication metadata and author abstract. Guarantees depend on dynamics, sensing and environmental assumptions; a new sensor or obstacle setting requires its own validation.
