  • Abstract
    We present an approach to planning dynamically feasible vehicle trajectories for applications where the vehicle operates in very large environments and for which a kinematic model is a poor approximation of the vehicle´s dynamics. Our approach is based on new methods for generating topological maps of a sparse and natural environment, such as a tropical riverine system.
