Clustering-Embedded Model Predictive Path Integral Control: Avoiding Averaging-Induced Failure and Enabling Efficient Cluster Selection for Dynamic Obstacles
Zidong Liu, Kaixin Chang, Xu Chen
With the widespread availability of parallel computing hardware, sampling-based motion planning methods such as Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) control have become increasingly powerful for complex nonlinear systems in non-smooth task spaces. However, the sampling and forwa…
