Abstract

Autonomous path planning for radar and sonar sensing faces significant challenges arising from dynamic targets, obstacle occlusions, and low signal-to-noise (SNR) conditions. We propose a hierarchical sensor scheduling framework that combines a long-horizon strategic planner, based on the Rapidly-exploring Random Tree star (RRT*) algorithm, with a fast-adapting tactical planner. Efficient coordination of the two planners is achieved via a novel message passing mechanism, enabling guidance of the sensor out of complex environments while maintaining effective target tracking. Additionally, we introduce an RRT∗ rerooting strategy that significantly reduces computation time and so expedites the update of the strategic plan.
