Abstract

Reciprocal velocity obstacles (RVO) is a method used for multiagents navigation that enables collision and oscillation-free avoidance against other mobile agents. Despite its ability in collision avoidance between agents, RVO has a hard time dealing with static obstacle avoidance. This problem has led to a tendency to use RVO only for agents avoidance and use other methods to handle static obstacles avoidance. In this paper, we present our new approach for interaction between mobile agents against static obstacles in the RVO based collision avoidance. We propose a concept called inert agents that interact as static obstacles. This inert agent is stand firm as static obstacles should be, while the inert agent also able to satisfy reactive collision avoidance nature of RVO to produce better avoidance result. We conduct an experiment to compare the performance of avoidance in a certain scenario. Our method shows better results when compared with generic static obstacles.
