| contents | Safe corridor-based Trajectory Optimization (TO) presents an appealing approach for collision-free path planning of autonomous robots, offering global optimality through its convex formulation. The safe corridor is constructed based on the perceived map, however, the non-ideal perception induces uncertainty, which is rarely considered in trajectory generation. In this paper, we propose Distributionally Robust Safe Corridor Constraints (DRSCCs) to consider the uncertainty of the safe corridor. Then, we integrate DRSCCs into the trajectory optimization framework using Bernstein basis polynomials. Theoretically, we rigorously prove that the trajectory optimization problem incorporating DRSCCs is equivalent to a computationally efficient, convex quadratic program. Compared to the nominal TO, our method enhances navigation safety by significantly reducing the infeasible motions in presence of uncertainty. Moreover, the proposed approach is validated through two robotic applications, a micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and a quadruped robot Unitree A1. |
