Real-Time Sensor-Based Feedback Control for Obstacle Avoidance in Unknown Environments
We revisit the Safety Velocity Cones (SVCs) obstacle avoidance approach for real-time autonomous navigation in an unknown $n$-dimensional environment. We propose a locally Lipschitz continuous implementation of the SVC controller using the distance-to-the-obstacle function and its gradient. We then show that the proposed implementation guarantees safe navigation in generic environments and almost globally asymptotic stability (AGAS) of the desired destination when the workspace contains strongly convex obstacles. The proposed computationally efficient control algorithm can be implemented onboard vehicles equipped with limited range sensors (e.g., LiDAR, depth camera), allowing the controller to be locally evaluated without requiring prior knowledge of the environment.

Dissipative Avoidance Feedback for Reactive Navigation Under Second-Order Dynamics
This paper addresses the problem of autonomous robot navigation in unknown, obstacle-filled environments with second-order dynamics by proposing a Dissipative Avoidance Feedback (DAF). Compared to the Artificial Potentia…

We propose a continuous feedback control strategy that steers a point-mass vehicle safely to a destination, in a quasi-optimal manner, in sphere worlds. The main idea consists in avoiding each obstacle via the shortest p…
Autonomous NavigationInstantaneous Planning, Control and Safety for Navigation in Unknown Underwater Spaces
Navigating autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in unknown environments is significantly challenging due to poor visibility, weak signal transmission, and dynamic water currents. These factors pose challenges in accurat…
