Overview

Distance alone does not describe the difficulty of traveling through an uneven environment. A route can be feasible in one direction and expensive or risky in the other.

QuasiNav uses constrained quasimetric reinforcement learning to represent these asymmetric traversal costs and inform navigation planning.
