Velocity obstacle

Short description: Term in robotics and motion planning

The velocity obstacle VOAB for a robot A, with position xA, induced by another robot B, with position xB and velocity vB.

In robotics and motion planning, a velocity obstacle, commonly abbreviated VO, is the set of all velocities of a robot that will result in a collision with another robot at some moment in time, assuming that the other robot maintains its current velocity.[1] If the robot chooses a velocity inside the velocity obstacle then the two robots will eventually collide, if it chooses a velocity outside the velocity obstacle, such a collision is guaranteed not to occur.[1]

This algorithm for robot collision avoidance has been repeatedly rediscovered and published under different names: in 1989 as a maneuvering board approach,[2] in 1993 it was first introduced as the "velocity obstacle",[3] in 1998 as collision cones,[4] and in 2009 as forbidden velocity maps.[5] The same algorithm has been used in maritime port navigation since at least 1903.[6]

The velocity obstacle for a robot A induced by a robot B may be formally written as

VOA|B={𝐯|∃t>0:(𝐯−𝐯B)t∈D(𝐱B−𝐱A,rA+rB)}

where A has position 𝐱A and radius rA, and B has position 𝐱B, radius rB, and velocity 𝐯B. The notation D(𝐱,r) represents a disc with center 𝐱 and radius r.

Variations include common velocity obstacles (CVO),[7] finite-time-interval velocity obstacles (FVO),[8] generalized velocity obstacles (GVO),[9] hybrid reciprocal velocity obstacles (HRVO),[10] nonlinear velocity obstacles (NLVO),[11] reciprocal velocity obstacles (RVO),[12] and recursive probabilistic velocity obstacles (PVO).[13]
