Abstract
Techniques for traversing in an environment that includes at least one obstacle, by a mobile autonomous system, to a destination in the environment, are presented. The techniques can include generating, prior to the mobile autonomous system commencing activity in the environment, a graph including a plurality of vertices representing positions in the environment and a plurality of edges between vertices representing feasible transitions by the mobile autonomous vehicle in the environment; annotating the graph with at least one edge connecting a representation of a present position of the mobile autonomous system to a vertex of the graph; determining, based on the graph, a path from the present position of the mobile autonomous system in the environment to the destination; and traversing the environment to the destination, by the mobile autonomous system, based on the path.
