Abstract
New method of spatial path planning for mobile robots moving in unknown environment with obstacles is proposed. This method is based on using onboard rangefinders data. The feature of the method is a simple algorithm of decision making for obstacle avoidance mode: in vertical plane without correction of reference motion trajectory or sideways with correction of this trajectory. The advantage of this method is smooth planning of smooth trajectory that allows increasing mobile robot speed.
The work is supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (grant 17-57-45055, 16-37-60025), and by the Russian Science Academy presidium program no.29 «Current Problems of Robotics».

Key words
