SRL-MPC: Shape-Aware Reinforcement Learned Model Predictive Control
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.21175v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Safe and efficient shape-aware navigation in heterogeneous crowds and robot fleets remains challenging. Traditional approaches often assume homogeneous robots, sparse workspaces, simplified geometry, offline computation, or handcrafted parameters to make the problem tractable, which limits their deployment in dense crowd scenarios. Toward this end, we propose Shape-Aware Reinforcement Learned Model Predictive Control (SRL-MPC), a method for safe, efficient, and adaptive navigation in crowds with heterogeneous shapes without geometry simplificat
