Abstract

In this paper, we develop a generic class of control policies that respect nonholonomic constraints and are provably safe with respect to obstacles for a convex-bodied mobile robot. We instantiate this class of policies over local regions of configu- ration space, and compose the resulting local policies to address the global navigation and control problem for a wheeled mobile robot navigating amongst obstacles. Simulation and experimental results are given.
