A computer-implemented method of planning a path for a mobile robot in the presence of a set of obstacles comprises: computing for each obstacle a probabilistic obstacle position distribution; computing at least one path-independent function as a combination of the probabilistic obstacle position distributions; and for at least one candidate path, determining an upper bound on the total probability of obstacle collision along that path, by aggregating the path-independent function based on an area defined by the candidate path and a mobile robot shape, wherein the path-independent function is independent of the candidate path.
