GAKD plans motion for a car-like robot over uneven triangular-mesh terrain. It searches bounded acceleration and steering sequences with a genetic algorithm, simulates them, applies the first control, and replans from the updated state. Across five simulated scenarios, its average traversability cost is 4.6391, below log-MPPI's 5.2544 and MPPI's 5.8225, but log-MPPI has shorter average path-length excess.
