This article addresses the obstacle avoidance problem for setpoint stabilization and path-following tasks in complex dynamic 2-D environments that go beyond conventional scenes with isolated convex obstacles. A combined motion planner and controller is proposed for setpoint stabilization that integrates the favorable convergence characteristics of closed-form motion planning techniques with the intuitive representation of system constraints through Model Predictive Control (MPC). The method is analytically proven to accomplish collision avoidance and convergence under soft conditions, and it is extended to path-following control. Various simulation scenarios using a non-holonomic unicycle robot are provided to showcase the efficacy of the control scheme and its improved convergence results compared to standard path-following MPC approaches with obstacle avoidance.
