Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of autonomous navigation of mobile robots on rough terrains. The contribution is a geometrical path planning algorithm that considers the geometry of the robot and its kinematic constraint in order to plan trajectories on a 3D terrain represented by polygonal patches. A first version of this planner has been implemented and simulation results that show the effectiveness of the approach are presented at the end of the paper.
