📄 中文摘要
针对机器人运动规划中非静态环境下路图图的调整问题,引入“红-绿-灰”范式,作为SPITE方法的一种改进。该范式能够利用廉价的启发式检查对节点和边的有效性状态进行分类,从而实现快速的半惰性路图更新。给定一个路图,利用简单的计算几何方法近似计算机器人的扫掠体积,并执行初步的障碍物碰撞检测。接着,根据检测结果将路图中的边分为三类:绿色(安全)、红色(碰撞)和灰色(未知)。绿色边表示在当前环境下机器人可以安全通过,红色边表示机器人会与障碍物发生碰撞,而灰色边则表示其有效性尚未完全确定,需要进一步的详细检查。这种分类机制允许系统优先处理那些有效性存疑的灰色边,而不是对所有边进行昂贵的重新验证。

Quick Heuristic Validation of Edges in Dynamic Roadmap Graphs
Addressing the challenge of adapting roadmap graphs for robot motion planning in non-static environments, the "Red-Green-Gray" paradigm is introduced as a modification of the SPITE method. This paradigm classifies the validity status of nodes and edges using inexpensive heuristic checks, enabling fast semi-lazy roadmap updates. Given a roadmap, simple computational geometry methods are employed to approximate the swept volumes of robots and perform preliminary obstacle collision detection. Edges in the roadmap are then categorized into three states based on these checks: green (valid/safe), red (invalid/colliding), and gray (unknown). Green edges signify that the robot can safely traverse them in the current environment, red edges indicate a collision with an obstacle, while gray edges denote that their validity is not fully determined and requires further detailed verification. This classification mechanism allows the system to prioritize the re-evaluation of uncertain gray edges, rather than performing expensive re-validation for all edges. Such an approach significantly reduces the time and computational resources required to update the roadmap in dynamic environments. When the environment changes, the system does not need to construct a new roadmap from scratch. Instead, it re-evaluates affected nodes and edges, updating their color states incrementally. This incremental update strategy substantially enhances the real-time performance and efficiency of motion planning, particularly beneficial in complex dynamic environments where obstacles frequently appear or move.
