Trajectory Planning in a Three-Dimensional Search Space with a Space-Time Artificial Potential Field

This document describes trajectory planning in a three-dimensional (3D) search space with a space-time artificial potential field. An example system includes a processor that obtains an initial pose, a goal pose, and an obstacle map for an environment. The processor uses a parking trajectory algorithm to determine a trajectory by searching in a space-time artificial potential field. The trajectory includes a series of 3D waypoints, including two-dimensional (2D) positional coordinates and time coordinates, to navigate from the initial pose towards the goal pose. Operation of the host vehicle is then controlled to maneuver along the trajectory using an assisted-driving or autonomous-driving system. In this way, path searching is performed in the entire 3D search space rather than iterating between two 2D search planes. This allows motion planning for autonomous parking, especially with static and dynamic objects present, to determine an optimal trajectory in a single iteration.
