Given noisy measurements of the a priori unknown obstacle trajectory, a bootstrapping technique predicts a set of obstacle trajectories. The bootstrapped predictions are incorporated in the MPC optimization using a risk-aware methodology so as to provide probabilistic guarantees on obstacle avoidance. We validate our methods using simulations of a 3-dimensional multi-rotor drone that avoids various moving obstacles, such as a thrown ball and a frisbee with air drag.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.14913v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.14913v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"moving-obstacle-avoidance-a-data-driven-risk","repo_url":"https://github.com/skylarxwei/riskaware_mpc_ssa_sim","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
