    Abstract: A method of navigational path planning for a mobile automation apparatus includes: obtaining an apparatus localization in a common frame of reference and a localization confidence level; detecting an obstacle boundary by one or more apparatus sensors; obtaining an obstacle map indicating the obstacle boundary in the frame of reference; generating a dynamic perimeter region of the obstacle boundary defining obstruction probabilities for respective distances from the obstacle boundary according to the localization confidence level; obtaining an environmental map indicating a predefined obstacle boundary; generating, for the predefined obstacle boundary, a static perimeter region defining obstructed space; identifying an obstructed portion of the dynamic perimeter region based on the obstruction probabilities and the apparatus localization; generating a navigational path traversing unobstructed space, that excludes the obstructed portion of the dynamic perimeter region, and the static perimeter region; and controlling the apparatus to traverse the generated navigational path.
