The system combines a flow-matching model trained on human demonstrations with model predictive path-following control to navigate around newly detected static obstacles. The controller adapts execution to constraints and feeds predicted motion back to the planner when replanning. In simulations, P3 achieved 100% success across four configurations at a 3.8-second maximum horizon; this evidence assumes a viable alternate route.
