Abstract—Increasing robotic systems autonomy is a major challenge in ensuring both their performance and ease of application in numerous areas of human activity. The present study attempts to combine several artificial intelligence methods to design self-learning control system for the task of mobile robot motion planning in a complex environment. We propose two main components of the control system: a dynamic path planner based on D* algorithm and terrain type prediction subsystem based on classification trees. Efficiency of both of the subsystems grows with time due to knowledge accumulation, leading the robot to a better maneuvering in the environment filled with obstacles.
