Abstract
A method for controlling a movable object includes obtaining current location information of an obstacle while the movable object tracks a target, determining whether the obstacle is located in a reactive region relative to the movable object based on the current location information of the obstacle, and, in response to determining that the obstacle is not located in the reactive region, selecting an optimized set of candidate movement characteristics having an optimized route optimization score from multiple sets of candidate movement characteristics, and adjusting one or more movement characteristics of the movable object based on the optimized set of candidate movement characteristics such that a distance between the movable object and the obstacle is maintained at or beyond a predefined distance. Each set of candidate movement characteristics among the multiple sets of candidate movement characteristics corresponds to a route optimization score.
