Abstract
A first robot performs navigation to a predetermined first static or dynamic target location. A first set of velocity candidates is generated for the first robot based on the detection of a first set of one or more velocity obstacles. A first new velocity is selected from the first set of velocity candidates. The first robot is moved at a first velocity corresponding to the first new velocity. The first new velocity is a first desired velocity or a velocity closest to the first desired velocity when at least one velocity candidate of the first set of velocity candidates corresponds to a safe and reachable velocity for the first robot. The first new velocity is a minimum velocity possible by the first robot when each one of the first set of velocity candidates corresponds to a respective unsafe velocity for the first robot.
