Maze navigation with duality-based obstacle avoidance

This represents the implementation of the following paper:

  • A. Thirugnanam, J. Zeng, K. Sreenath. "Safety-Critical Control and Planning for Obstacle Avoidance between Polytopes with Control Barrier Functions." 2022 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA). [arXiv] [Video]

Run python models/kinematic_car_test.py. This simulates maze navigation (two maze setups) with duality-based obstacle avoidance (four robot shapes including rectangle, pentagon, triangle and l-shape) in the discrete-time domain. The animations and snapshots can be found in folder animations and figures. An example animation video can be generated as follows,
