arXiv:2607.06123v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper proposes a novel method that extends the Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) method with motion primitives for additional structured sampling, which enhances the convergence towards a globally optimal solution. By evaluating motion primitives and perturbed control sequences in a real-time sampling-based optimization loop, this work addresses the limitations of the path planning capabilities of sampling-based controllers. The algorithm is implemented on a quadcopter simulator and tested on an obstacle field navigation task. It is demonstrated that the proposed approach enhances exploration of the control space while maintaining the fast, reactive behavior required for real-time control.
