This paper presents an efficient and safe method to avoid static and dynamic obstacles
based on LiDAR. First, point cloud is used to generate a real-time local grid map for obstacle …

Autonomous navigation of ground robots has been widely used in indoor structured 2D
environments, but there are still many challenges in outdoor 3D unstructured environments …

Recently significant progress has been made in vehicle prediction and planning algorithms
for autonomous driving. However, it remains quite challenging for an autonomous vehicle to …

The task of collecting and transporting luggage trolleys in airports, characterized by its
complexity within dynamic public environments, presents both an ongoing challenge and a …

Robots have become increasingly prevalent in dynamic and crowded environments such as
airports and shopping malls. In these scenarios, the critical challenges for robot navigation …

This article focuses on the luggage trolley transportation problem, an essential part of robotic
autonomous luggage trolley collection. To efficiently address the nonholonomic constraints …

Connectivity technology has shown great potentials in improving the safety and efficiency of
transportation systems by providing information beyond the perception and prediction …

Cooperative object transportation using multiple robots has been intensively studied in the
control and robotics literature, but most approaches are either only applicable to …

When the traffic stream is extremely congested and surrounding vehicles are not
cooperative, the mandatory lane changing can be significantly difficult. In this work, we …

In this paper, we present a simultaneous exploration and object search framework for the
application of autonomous trolley collection. For environment representation, a task-oriented …
