Abstract: In this work, we propose an approach to determine terrain traversability for a car-like robot. Our approach has two main modules: a neural network classifier that makes use of sensors' readings to assign traversability levels to control inputs of the robot, and a second neural network that, based on the outputs of the first network, mimics the control selection performed by a human driver. The approach incorporates sensor fusion from a variety of sources to enhance the traversability estimation, and it is trained employing a semi-supervised learning scheme with examples resulting from the interaction of the car with the environment. This semi-supervised scheme avoids exhausting manual labeling and is built on the premise that there is a correlation between the terrain traversability and the required and observed behaviors of the vehicle. The method is validated with data obtained from a physical electric car.
