Adaptive Motion Planning Leveraging Speed-Differentiated Prediction for Mobile Robots in Dynamic Environments
This paper presents a novel motion planning framework for mobile robots operating in dynamic and uncertain environments, with an emphasis on accurate trajectory prediction and safe, efficient obstacle avoidance. The proposed approach integrates search-based planning with deep learning techniques to improve both robustness and interpretability. A multi-sensor perception module is designed to classify obstacles as either static or dynamic, thereby enhancing environmental awareness and planning reliability. To address the challenge of motion prediction, we introduce the K-GRU Kalman method, which first applies K-means clustering to distinguish between high-speed and low-speed dynamic obstacles, then models their trajectories using a combination of Kalman filtering and gated recurrent units (GRUs). Compared to state-of-the-art RNN and LSTM-based predictors, the proposed method achieves superior accuracy and generalization. Extensive experiments in both simulated and real-world scenarios of varying complexity demonstrate the effectiveness of the framework. The results show an average planning success rate exceeding 60%, along with notable improvements in path safety and smoothness, validating the contribution of each module within the system.
