This work presents a control barrier function-induced neural controller (CBF-INC) that can be integrated into sampling-based motion planning algorithms to efficiently explore the configuration space while ensuring safety.
This work proposes a decoupled strategy that first trains a goal-conditioned controller offline in an empty environment to deal with the robot's dynamics, and then constructs a "Roadmap with Gaps" to approximately learn how to solve planning queries in a target environment using the learned controller. The roadmap guidance is integrated with an asymptotically optimal tree sampling-based planner to achieve improved computational efficiency for motion planning.
