Navigable Region

Navigable region identification focuses on enabling robots and autonomous vehicles to safely and efficiently traverse complex environments by accurately determining areas suitable for movement. Current research emphasizes integrating geometric and semantic information, often using Gaussian processes, graph representations of 3D LiDAR data, and large language models to create robust and adaptable traversability estimations. This work is crucial for advancing autonomous navigation, particularly in unstructured or dynamic settings, improving the reliability and capabilities of robots in various applications, from indoor assistance to outdoor driving.
