NAVIGATION CONTROL FOR OBSTACLES AVOIDANCE IN AERIAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM

A system and a method for navigating an aerial robotic device movable within an aerial movement volume are provided. The method comprises generating a global environment map of the aerial movement volume, and detecting static obstacles therefrom. The method further comprises generating a depth map detailing presence or absence of objects with reference to a current location of the aerial robotic device, and detecting dynamic obstacles therefrom. The method further comprises re-scaling the depth map to correspond to the global environment map of the aerial movement volume, and tracing a route for the aerial robotic device from the current location to the target location avoiding the one or more static obstacles and the one or more dynamic obstacles. The method further comprises navigating the aerial robotic device based on the traced route to enable the aerial robotic device from the current location to the target location.
