Sampling-based algorithms for robot path planning offer probabilistic completeness and strong empirical convergence properties across environments with diverse obstacle configurations. However, in practice, these methods often require many iterations to obtain high-quality solutions. This paper proposes Convex-Neural RRT*, an enhanced RRT* variant that incorporates neural guidance to predict informative waypoint regions near high-quality paths. Convex candidate regions are extracted from these predictions, enabling the planner to concentrate exploration on geometrically relevant areas while preserving global exploration. The proposed algorithm is evaluated against Neural RRT*, Neural Informed RRT*, classical RRT*, and LTA* across three environment types and 18 benchmark maps. Experimental results show that Convex-Neural RRT* reduces computation time by 30-75% compared to neural-guided variants and up to 88-98% relative to LTA*, while achieving an average path length reduction of approximately 5% compared to classical RRT*, with larger improvements observed in complex environments. The method also maintains an overall success rate above 99% across varying obstacle densities. These findings indicate that convex-guided neural sampling provides an effective balance between computational efficiency and solution quality, supporting its applicability to time-sensitive robotic navigation tasks.
