PREDICTION AND PLANNING FOR MOBILE ROBOTS

Ego actions for a mobile robot in the presence of at least one agent are autonomously planned. In a sampling phase, a goal for an agent is sampled from a set of available goals based on a probabilistic goal distribution, as determined using an observed trajectory of the agent. An agent trajectory is sampled, from a set of possible trajectories associated with the sampled goal, based on a probabilistic trajectory distribution, each trajectory of the set of possible trajectories reaching a location of the associated goal. In a simulation phase, an ego action is selected from a set of available ego actions and based on the selected ego action, the sampled agent trajectory, and a current state of the mobile robot, (i) behaviour of the mobile robot, and (ii) simultaneous behaviour of the agent are simulated, in order to assess the viability of the selected ego action.
