Autonomous Driving at Intersections: A Critical-Turning-Point Approach for Planning and Decision Making
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-28)Left-turning at unsignalized intersection is one of the most challenging tasks for urban automated driving, due to the various shapes of different intersections, and rapidly changing nature of the driving scenarios. Many ... -
Coverage Path Planning for a Moving Vehicle
(University of Waterloo, 2020-04-21)A simple coverage plan called a Conformal Lawn Mower plan is demonstrated. This plan enables a UAV to fully cover the route ahead of a moving ground vehicle. The plan requires only limited knowledge of the ground vehicle's ... -
Multi-Actuated Vehicle Control and Path Planning/Tracking at Handling Limits
(University of Waterloo, 2021-03-10)The increasing requirements for vehicle safety along with the impressive progress in vehicle actuation technologies have motivated manufacturers to equip vehicles with multiple control actuations that enhance handling and ... -
Multi-Robot Path Planning for Persistent Monitoring in Stochastic and Adversarial Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-15)In this thesis, we study multi-robot path planning problems for persistent monitoring tasks. The goal of such persistent monitoring tasks is to deploy a team of cooperating mobile robots in an environment to continually ... -
Nonlinear Optimal Control of Automated Vehicles in a Connected Environment
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-12)This thesis is based around the University of Waterloo EcoCAR Team (UWAFT) and the EcoCAR Mobility Challenge. The overall objective of the competition is to design and build a hybrid electric vehicle with SAE Level 2 ... -
Path Planning Framework for Unmanned Ground Vehicles on Uneven Terrain
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-23)In this thesis, I address the problem of long-range path planning on uneven terrain for non-holonomic wheeled mobile robots (WMR). Uneven terrain path planning is essential for search-and-rescue, surveillance, military, ... -
Safe and Efficient Navigation of a Mobile Robot: Path Planning Based on Hierarchical Topology Map and Motion Planning with Pedestrian Behavior Model
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-02)Safety in mobile robot navigation is an essential aspect, but it is often accompanied by a trade-off of efficiency in different navigation steps. For global planning, safety is frequently handled by inflated obstacles. ...
