Abstract

A method for adjusting a desired trajectory of an automatically guided vehicle guidance system to match a physical constraint such as an obstacle or boundary. The method works around obstacles and boundaries as they occur, consistent with the original trajectory. The method is independent of the type of vehicle. The method may be used regardless of whether the vehicle is under automatic guidance, and the method has a low computational cost.
