1. A method, comprising:

obtaining, using an object relocation robot, sensor data for an environment surrounding an object to be reached;

analyzing, using a processor, the sensor data using a trained model, wherein the trained model is trained using one or more of existing path planning data, location data, and LIDAR point clouds;

identifying, using a processor, a path for traversing across the ground to the object for purposes of manipulating the object or transporting the object to another location; and

identifying, using a processor, a locomotion strategy for reaching the object, comprising movements of a tracked or wheeled platform of the object relocation robot and one or more other physical attachments; and

moving the object relocation robot using the locomotion strategy to reach the object.
