Path-planning with waiting in spatiotemporally-varying threat fields.

We address the problem of finding an optimal path for a vehicle in a planar environment where traversal costs are based on a time-varying spatial field defined over the environment. The resulting optimal path may contain instances of waiting, where the vehicle hovers, parks, or loiters. First, we co...
