| contents | In fields such as mining, search and rescue, and archaeological exploration, ensuring real-time, collision-free navigation of robots in confined, cluttered environments is imperative. Despite the value of established path planning algorithms, they often face challenges in convergence rates and handling dynamic infeasibilities. Alternative techniques like collision cones struggle to accurately represent complex obstacle geometries. This paper introduces a novel category of control barrier functions, known as Polygonal Cone Control Barrier Function (PolyC2BF), which addresses overestimation and computational complexity issues. The proposed PolyC2BF, formulated as a Quadratic Programming (QP) problem, proves effective in facilitating collision-free movement of multiple robots in complex environments. The efficacy of this approach is further demonstrated through PyBullet simulations on quadruped (unicycle model), and crazyflie 2.1 (quadrotor model) in cluttered environments. |
