Source overview

Online nonparametric models and uncertainty estimates guide a nonlinear MPC controller's linear and angular velocities. The authors report over five kilometres of travel by a 900 kg ground robot while respecting path and localization constraints.

Use and review

Review uses publisher-deposited abstract and bibliography only. Field results are specific to terrain, localization and model-update conditions, rather than proof of safety for every obstacle or environment.
