Due to the limitation of space rover onboard computing resources and energy, there is an urgent need for high-quality drive trajectories in complex environments, which can be provided by delicately designed motion optimization methods. The nonconvexity of the collision avoidance constraints poses a significant challenge to the optimization-based motion planning of nonholonomic vehicles, especially in unstructured cluttered environments. In this paper, a novel obstacle decomposition approach, which swiftly decomposes nonconvex obstacles into their constituent convex substructures while concurrently minimizing the proliferation of resultant subobstacles, is proposed. A safe convex corridor construction method is introduced to formulate the collision avoidance constraints. The numerical approximation methods are applied to transfer the resulting continuous motion optimization problem to a nonlinear programming problem (NLP). Simulation experiments are conducted to illustrate the feasibility and superiority of the proposed methods over the rectangle safe corridor method and the area method.

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are essential in various industries for their efficiency and adaptability. However, planning trajectories for AGVs in obstacle-dense, unstructured environments presents significant challenges due to the nonholonomic kinematics, abundant obstacles, and the scenario's nonconvex and constrained nature. To address this, we propose an efficient trajectory planning framework for AGVs by formulating the problem as an optimal control problem. Our framework utilizes the fast safe rectangular corridor (FSRC) algorithm to construct rectangular convex corridors, representing avoidance constraints as box constraints. This eliminates redundant obstacle influences and accelerates the solution speed. Additionally, we employ the Modified Visibility Graph algorithm to speed up path planning and a boundary discretization strategy to expedite FSRC construction. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of our framework, particularly in computational efficiency. Compared to advanced frameworks, our framework achieves computational efficiency gains of 1 to 2 orders of magnitude. Notably, FSRC significantly outperforms other safe convex corridor-based methods regarding computational efficiency.
