An Artificial Intelligence Approach for the Kinodynamically Feasible Trajectory Planning of a Car-like Vehicle by Vito Antonio Nardi, Marianna Lanza, Filippo Ruffa, Valerio Scordamaglia

“…Planning is performed on a graph that represents the operating scenario in which the vehicle moves, and the kinodynamic feasibility of the trajectories is guaranteed through a series of set-based arguments, which involve the solution of semi-definite programming problems. Navigation in the graph is performed through a hybrid A* algorithm whose performance metrics are improved through a properly trained classificator, which can forecast whether a candidate trajectory segment is feasible or not. …”
