Reactive Navigation of an Autonomous Ground Vehicle Using Dynamic Expanding Zones

Autonomous navigation of mobile robots through unstructured terrain presents many challenges. The task becomes even more difficult with increasing obstacle density, at higher speeds, and when a priori knowledge of the terrain is not available. Reactive navigation schemas are often dismissed as overl...
