Abstract

This paper describes progress in the development of a navigation framework for the Coupled-Layer Architecture for Robotic Autonomy (CLARAty). As part of CLARAty, the framework shares the goals of enabling code reuse while maintaining efficiency and accessibility. The framework is roughly divided into generic components along sense-think-act lines. A discussion of the role and structure of each component is presented. An illustrative example is presented of an implementation of a Morphin/D*-based navigation algorithm using this framework. Early results from experimentation in simulation are also presented.
