| contents | Reactive mobile robot navigation in unstructured environments is challenging when robots encounter unexpected obstacles that invalidate previously planned trajectories. Model predictive path integral control (MPPI) enables reactive planning, but still suffers from limited prediction horizons that lead to local minima traps near obstacles. Current solutions rely on heuristic cost design or scenario-specific pre-training, which often limits their adaptability to new environments. We introduce dynamic repulsive potential augmented MPPI (DRPA-MPPI), which dynamically detects potential entrapments on the predicted trajectories. Upon detecting local minima, DRPA-MPPI automatically switches between standard goal-oriented optimization and a modified cost function that generates repulsive forces away from local minima. Comprehensive testing in simulated obstacle-rich environments confirms DRPA-MPPI's superior navigation performance and safety compared to conventional methods with less computational burden. |
