Abstract
A method includes receiving one or more past trajectories navigated by a robotic device in an environment, wherein the one or more past trajectories are associated with initial environmental sensor data and one or more obstacle detection heuristics. The method also includes determining, based at least on subsequent environmental sensor data, one or more updated obstacle detection heuristics. The method further includes determining, based on the one or more updated obstacle detection heuristics and the initial environmental sensor data, one or more predicted drivable areas in the environment. The method additionally includes, based on the one or more predicted drivable areas including the one or more past trajectories, using the one or more updated obstacle detection heuristics to determine future navigation of the robotic device.
