Adding convergence to dynamic-window avoidance

The paper combines fast dynamic-window collision avoidance with a convergent navigation design using control-Lyapunov and predictive-control ideas. It targets the failure of ordinary dynamic-window methods to reach a goal despite avoiding collisions.

Source overview

The paper combines fast dynamic-window collision avoidance with a convergent navigation design using control-Lyapunov and predictive-control ideas. It targets the failure of ordinary dynamic-window methods to reach a goal despite avoiding collisions.

Use and review

Guarantees are conditional on the stated dynamics, sensing and constraint assumptions. Abstract/source screening does not validate a complete robot installation or an ISO13849 safety function.
