A method for collision free assisted navigation of semi-autonomous vehicles in dynamic environments with moving and static obstacles
Andrey V. Savkin, Chao Wang · 2015
We present a novel framework for collision free assisted navigation of a semi-autonomous vehicle in complex unknown environments with moving and steady obstacles. In the proposed system, a semi-autonomous vehicle is guided by a human operator and an automatic reactive navigator. The autonomous reactive navigation block takes control from the human operator in situations where there is the danger of collision with obstacle. A mathematically rigorous analysis of the proposed approach is provided. The performance of the proposed assisted navigation system is demonstrated via experimental results with a real semi-autonomous wheelchair.
