Hybrid path planning framework enables multi-target navigation for wheelchairs

1 reports · 1 sources

Damla Leblebicioğlu and other authors published a hybrid path planning framework for assistive wheelchair multi-target navigation: using the traveling salesman problem (TSP) for global task ordering, combined with potential field (PF) methods and local planners such as RRT and A*, forming two algorithms, TSP-PF-RRT and TSP-PF-A*. The authors state that in Monte Carlo simulations of crowded and super-crowded scenarios containing heterogeneous dynamic and static obstacles, the framework can achieve efficient multi-target navigation in dynamic environments with people while maintaining safe operation; among them, TSP-PF-RRT has fewer or zero collisions and shorter travel distances. These results come from simulation evaluation and have not yet involved real vehicles or real wheelchair environments.

  1. Hybrid Path Planning Framework for Assistive Wheelchair Navigation in Dynamic Pedestrian Environments

    A study proposes a hybrid path planning framework for multi-goal navigation of assistive wheelchairs, using the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) for global task ordering combined with the Potential Field (PF) method and heuristic local planners such as RRT and A* to achieve collision-free navigation, and develops two algorithms, TSP-PF-RRT and TSP-PF-A*. In Monte Carlo simulations of crowded and super-crowded scenarios, the framework achieves efficient multi-goal navigation in dynamic human environments containing heterogeneous static and dynamic obstacles, with TSP-PF-RRT producing fewer or zero collisions and shorter travel distances.
