A system and method for navigating a mobile automated system through obstacles is disclosed. The system includes a communication module, an estimation module, a density module, a vector module, a navigating module and a command module. The communication module receives image sensor data from one or more sensors. The estimation module estimates one or more obstacle parameters. The density module determines a left obstacle image density and a right obstacle image density for a path from a start point to a navigating destination based on the one or more obstacle parameters. The vector module generates a vector model to determine a navigating direction based on the left obstacle image density and the right obstacle image density. The navigating module determines a navigating velocity for navigating the mobile automated system to the navigating destination. The command module generates one or more navigating commands based on the navigating velocity.
