Towards higher order fairness functionals for smooth path planning
Victor Parque · Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference Companion · 2021
Smoothness of mobile and vehicle navigation has become relevant to ensure the safety and the comfortability of riding. The robotics community has been able to render smooth trajectories in mobile robots by using non-linear optimization approaches and well-known fairness metrics considering the curvature variations along the path. In this paper, we introduce the possibility of computing smooth paths from observed mobile robot trajectories from higher order non-linear fairness functionals. Our approach is potential to enable the generation of simple and computationally-efficient path planning smoothing for navigation in mobile robots.
