Convex Risk Bounded Continuous-Time Trajectory Planning and Tube Design in Uncertain Nonconvex Environments

1 code implementation26 May 2023 Ashkan Jasour, Weiqiao Han, Brian Williams

To address the risk bounded trajectory planning problem, we leverage the notion of risk contours to transform the risk bounded planning problem into a deterministic optimization problem.

Risk Conditioned Neural Motion Planning

1 code implementation4 Aug 2021 Xin Huang, Meng Feng, Ashkan Jasour, Guy Rosman, Brian Williams

In this paper, we propose an extension of soft actor critic model to estimate the execution risk of a plan through a risk critic and produce risk-bounded policies efficiently by adding an extra risk term in the loss function of the policy network.
