In this work, we present DiPPeR, a novel and fast 2D path planning framework for quadrupedal locomotion, leveraging diffusion-driven techniques. Our contributions include a scalable dataset generator for map images and corresponding trajectories, an image-conditioned diffusion planner for mobile robots, and a training/inference pipeline employing CNNs. We validate our approach in several mazes, as well as in real-world deployment scenarios on Boston Dynamic's Spot and Unitree's Go1 robots. DiPPeR performs on average 23 times faster for trajectory generation against both search based and data driven path planning algorithms with an average of 87% consistency in producing feasible paths of various length in maps of variable size, and obstacle structure.
</p>
<br>
<p>
In the following sections we present DiPPeRs performance and genarilisation capabilities.

<h5>
<center>
DiPPeR is integrated into the 2D ROS Navigation Stack, serving as the global path planner.
When provided with the occupancy map, DiPPeR generates an initial global path.
This path is subsequently fine-tuned by the TEB local planner to ensure the avoidance of violations
of the robot's kinodynamic constraints. Additionally, the Phasespace Localisation system is employed
to mitigate for state estimation inaccuracies.
