摘要
This paper presents an information potential method for integrated path planning and control. The method is applicable to unicycle robotic sensors deployed to classify multiple targets in an obstacle-populated environment. A new navigation function, referred to as information potential, is generated from the target conditional mutual information, and used to design a closed-loop stable switched control law. The information potential is shown to obey the properties of potential navigation functions and to enable measurements that maximize the information value over time. The information potential is also used to construct a local roadmap for escaping local minima. The properties and computational complexity of the local roadmap algorithm are analyzed. Numerical simulation results show that the method outperforms other strategies, such as rapidly exploring random trees and classical potential field methods.
