Multi-Objective Kinodynamic Motion Planning with Asymptotic Pareto Optimality

This paper addresses multi-objective motion planning for kinodynamic systems, proposing a unified framework based on Stable Sparse-RRT (SST). By replacing the single representative node with a set of locally Pareto-optimal nodes, it yields three algorithms: lexSST, coSST, and poSST, offering theoretical guarantees and empirical validation.

Abstract:In this paper, we address the challenge of multi-objective motion planning for systems under kinodynamic constraints. We consider three problem classes: (i) lexicographic optimization, in which objectives are minimized according to a strict priority ordering, (ii) constrained optimization, in which a primary objective is minimized subject to bounds on the remaining costs, and (iii) Pareto front optimization, in which the goal is to approximate the full set of optimal trade-offs among competing objectives. We first show that established cost scalarization methods for multi-objective problems cannot be extended to continuous-domain systems with correctness guarantees. Then, we propose a unified algorithmic framework built upon the Stable Sparse-RRT (SST) algorithm, in which the single representative maintained at each witness neighborhood is replaced by a representative set of locally Pareto-optimal nodes. This structure gives rise to three distinct algorithms: lexSST for lexicographic minimization, coSST for constrained optimization, and poSST for Pareto-front approximation. We provide theoretical guarantees for the completeness and optimality of our algorithms and demonstrate their effectiveness through extensive empirical evaluations.
