Abstract:In this paper, we present an online method for converting an arbitrary geometric path, represented by a sequence of states, and generated by any planner (e.g., sampling-based planners such as RRT or PRM, search-based planners such as ARA*, etc.), into a kinematically feasible, jerk-limited trajectory. The method generates a sequence of quintic/quartic splines that can be discretized at a user-specified control rate and streamed to a low-level robot controller. Our approach enables real-time adaptation to environmental changes and can be re-invoked at any instant to generate a new trajectory from the robot's current state to a desired target state or sequence of states. Under a bounded-obstacle-velocity assumption, the method provides conditional stopping-safety guarantees over a finite time interval in dynamic environments, while allowing bounded geometric deviation from the original path. Kinematic constraints, including jerk limits, are explicitly considered. We validate the approach in a comparative simulation study against a competing method, demonstrating favorable behavior w.r.t. smoothness, computational time, and real-time performance, particularly with frequent target-state changes (up to 1 [kHz]). Real-robot experiments demonstrate applicability in real-world scenarios, including scenarios with a human as an obstacle.
