Driving vehicles in complex scenarios under harsh conditions is the biggest challenge for autonomous vehicles (AVs). To address this issue, we propose hierarchical motion planning and robust control strategy using the front-active steering…

We present a hierarchical control approach for maneuvering an autonomous vehicle (AV) in tightly-constrained environments where other moving AVs and/or human driven vehicles are present. A two-level hierarchy is proposed: a high-level…

Planning and control for autonomous vehicles usually are hierarchical separated. However, increasing performance demands and operating in highly dynamic environments requires an frequent re-evaluation of the planning and tight integration…

A novel local trajectory planner, capable of controlling an autonomous off-road vehicle on rugged terrain at high-speed is presented. Autonomous vehicles are currently unable to safely operate off-road at high-speed, as current approaches…

Planning safe trajectories under uncertain and dynamic conditions makes the autonomous driving problem significantly complex. Current sampling-based methods such as Rapidly Exploring Random Trees (RRTs) are not ideal for this problem…

Trajectory planning and control have historically been separated into two modules in automated driving stacks. Trajectory planning focuses on higher-level tasks like avoiding obstacles and staying on the road surface, whereas the controller…

For motion planning and control of autonomous vehicles to be proactive and safe, pedestrians' and other road users' motions must be considered. In this paper, we present a vehicle motion planning and control framework, based on Model…

This paper proposes a comprehensive hierarchical control framework for autonomous decision-making arising in robotics and autonomous systems. In a typical hierarchical control architecture, high-level decision making is often characterised…

Terrain traversability in unstructured off-road autonomy has traditionally relied on semantic classification, resource-intensive dynamics models, or purely geometry-based methods to predict vehicle-terrain interactions. While…

Autonomous vehicles need to handle various traffic conditions and make safe and efficient decisions and maneuvers. However, on the one hand, a single optimization/sampling-based motion planner cannot efficiently generate safe trajectories…

As autonomous vehicles (AVs) become more common on public roads, their interaction with human-driven vehicles (HVs) in mixed traffic is inevitable. This requires new control strategies for AVs to handle the unpredictable nature of HVs. This…

Achieving persistent tracking of multiple dynamic targets over a large spatial area poses significant challenges for a single-robot system with constrained sensing capabilities. As the robot moves to track different targets, the ones…

Trajectory planning in urban automated driving is challenging because of the high uncertainty resulting from the unknown future motion of other traffic participants. Robust approaches guarantee safety, but tend to result in overly…

We address the problem of coordination and control of Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) in the presence of imperfect observations in mixed traffic environment. A commonly used approach is learning-based decision-making, such as…

Motion control of underwater robotic vehicles is a demanding task with great challenges imposed by external disturbances, model uncertainties and constraints of the operating workspace. Thus, robust motion control is still an open issue for…

Using the context of trajectory estimation and tracking for multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we explore the challenges in applying high-gain observers to highly dynamic systems. The multi-rotor will operate in the presence of…

We study a trajectory tracking problem for a multi-rotor in the presence of modeling error and external disturbances. The desired trajectory is unknown and generated from a reference system with unknown or partially known dynamics. We…

We present an approach for safe trajectory planning, where a strategic task related to autonomous racing is learned sample-efficient within a simulation environment. A high-level policy, represented as a neural network, outputs a reward…

Autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) are influenced by environmental disturbances such as wind and waves, making accurate trajectory tracking a persistent challenge in dynamic marine conditions. In this paper, we propose an efficient…

In this paper, we present a hierarchical framework that integrates upper-level routing with low-level optimal trajectory planning for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) traveling in an urban network. The upper-level controller…
