This paper addresses defensive blocking in autonomous racing, where a vehicle must prevent a faster opponent from overtaking while operating near its dynamic limits. Different from lap-time minimization, we formulate defense as a spatial occupancy regulation problem via a hierarc…
Terrain traversability is critical for developing Go/No-Go maps for ground vehicles, which significantly impact a mission’s success. To predict the mobility of terrain, one must understand the soil characteristics. In-situ measurements performed in the field are the current metho…
