Robot Vehicle Route Planners

Umbra can use route planners to provide high-level path plans for simulated robotic vehicles. In real environments, routes are planned from various DTED® level terrain models. The robots then typically use navigation algorithms to avoid unmodeled obstacles.

Umbra’s ability to use multiple data representations allows routes to be planned on low detail and executed on higher detail terrain. This, in turn, provides an ability to evaluate the validity of these hierarchical control algorithms.
