Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to robot path planning. Depth information of a plurality of obstacles in an environment of a robot are obtained at a first time instance. A static distance map is generated based on the depth information. A path is computed for the robot based on the static distance map. At a second time instant, depth information of one or more obstacles is obtained. A dynamic distance map is generated based on the one or more obstacles, wherein for each obstacle that satisfies a condition: a vibration range of the obstacle is computed based on a position of the obstacle and the static distance map, and the obstacle is classified as a dynamic obstacle or a static obstacle based on a criterion associated with the vibration range. A repulsive speed of the robot is computed based on the dynamic distance map to avoid the dynamic obstacles.
