Abstract
A method for path planning for a vehicle may include determining a repulsive potential at each of a plurality of location points in an environment surrounding the vehicle using a vehicle perception sensor. The method further may include determining an attractive potential at each of the plurality of location points in the environment surrounding the vehicle using the vehicle perception sensor. The method further may include calculating a potential field representing the environment surrounding the vehicle based at least in part on the attractive potential at each of the plurality of location points and the repulsive potential at each of the plurality of location points. The potential field quantifies a suitability of each of the plurality of location points in the environment for inclusion in a path for the vehicle. The method further may include generating the path for the vehicle based at least in part on the potential field.
