Dynamic Risk Density for Autonomous Navigation in Cluttered Environments without Object Detection

In this paper, we examine the problem of navigating cluttered environments without explicit object detection and tracking. We introduce the dynamic risk density to map the congestion density and spatial flow of the environment to a cost function for the agent to determine risk when navigating that e...
