We propose a framework for resilient autonomous navigation in perceptually challenging unknown environments with mobility-stressing elements such as uneven surfaces with rocks and boulders, steep slopes, negative obstacles like cliffs and holes, and narrow passages.

The standard approaches that ensure safety by enforcing a "stop" condition in the free-known space can severely limit the speed of the vehicle, especially in situations where much of the world is unknown.

The desire of maintaining computational tractability typically leads to optimization problems that do not include the obstacles (collision checks are done on the solutions) or to formulations that use a convex decomposition of the free space and then impose an ad hoc allocation of each interval of the trajectory in a specific polyhedron.

However, in unknown environments, this approach can lead to erratic or unstable behavior due to the interaction between the global planner, whose solution is changing constantly, and the local planner; a consequence of not capturing higher-order dynamics in the global plan.
