Spatial Temporal Corridor

Spatial-temporal corridors represent a dynamic, three-dimensional (space-time) region for planning safe and efficient trajectories for autonomous agents, such as robots and vehicles, navigating complex environments. Current research focuses on developing efficient algorithms, often employing gradient-based optimization and geometric representations like ellipses or trapezoidal prisms, to generate these corridors and plan trajectories within them, addressing challenges like collision avoidance and real-time performance. This approach offers significant advantages in multi-agent coordination and high-speed navigation, improving safety and efficiency in various applications, from robotics and autonomous driving to drone flight.
