Abstract
Systems and methods for dynamic route planning m autonomous navigation are disclosed. In some exemplary implementations, a robot can have one or more sensors configured to collect data about an environment including detected points on one or more objects in the environment. The robot can then plan a route in the environment, where the route can comprise one or more route poses. The route poses can include a footprint indicative at least in part of a pose, size, and shape of the robot along the route. Each route pose can have a plurality of points therein. Based on forces exerted on the points of each route pose by other route poses, objects in the environment, and others, each route pose can reposition. Based at least in part on interpolation performed on the route poses (some of which may be repositioned), the robot can dynamically route.
