A GP-based Robust Motion Planning Framework for Agile Autonomous Robot Navigation and Recovery in Unknown Environments
For autonomous mobile robots, uncertainties in the environment and system model can lead to failure in the motion planning pipeline, resulting in potential collisions. In order to achieve a high level of robust autonomy, these robots should be able to proactively predict and recover from such failures. To this end, we propose a Gaussian Process (GP) based model for proactively detecting the risk of future motion planning failure. When this risk exceeds a certain threshold, a recovery behavior is triggered that leverages the same GP model to find a safe state from which the robot may continue towards the goal. The proposed approach is trained in simulation only and can generalize to real world environments on different robotic platforms. Simulations and physical experiments demonstrate that our framework is capable of both predicting planner failures and recovering the robot to states where planner success is likely, all while producing agile motion.
