Abstract
Embodiments, systems, and methods for navigational planning of a mobile programmable agent are provided. In some embodiments, the navigational planning may include identifying a plurality of dynamic objects in a physical environment having an origin and a destination. The physical environment is divided into a plurality of plane figures. The location of a centroid of each plane figure can then be calculated. A network of segments is formed from the origin to the destination intersecting the centroids. At least one channel is determined from the origin to the destination using a set of segments. A set of gates is identified along the at least one channel. The state of the gates is selectively determined based on movement of the dynamic objects. A pathway can then be identified within the channel for the mobile programmable agent to traverse from the origin to the destination based on the state of the gates.
