This work proposes a single-layer finite-horizon optimal control strategy to solve the autonomous navigation problem while accounting for energy efficiency and providing obstacle avoidance feature in cluttered environments with unknown obstacles. Considering the rate capacity effect of electric batteries, the nonlinear state-of-charge behavior is described and included in the optimal control problem to achieve energy-awareness. Besides, artificial potential fields are considered to obtain obstacle avoidance capabilities. The control problem is formulated inspired by the tracking model predictive control framework, and it considers the central idea of including artificial variables into the control problem to obtain a closed-loop system with an enlarged domain of attraction and with feasibility insurance. Finally, numerical results in a case study considering a quadrotor UAV are provided to corroborate the proposed strategy.
