Abstract: In various examples, a technique for generating speed change decisions for a mobile robot includes identifying, using one or more maps of a physical environment, one or more obstacles associated with one or more portions of a path of the mobile robot in the physical environment. The technique also includes generating, based at least on the one or more obstacles, one or more speed constraints, each speed constraint specifying a speed limit for a respective portion of the path. The technique further includes generating one or more speed change decisions specifying actions to be performed by the mobile robot to cause a speed profile of the mobile robot to satisfy the one or more speed constraints.

Abstract: In various examples, a technique for generating a path between a current location and a target waypoint is disclosed that includes receiving a route plan that is associated with a plurality of waypoints representing locations in a physical environment. The technique also includes identifying a search space that includes the route plan, and identifying a target waypoint of the plurality of waypoints—the target waypoint being in a portion of the search space between a current location of a mobile robot and an end waypoint of the route plan. A path between the current location of the mobile robot and the target waypoint may then be generated.
