An Analytic Motion Planning Solution for the Snakeboard
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper provides a closed-form analytical solution to the motion planning problem for the Snakeboard. Given a desired planar trajectory in the fiber space, an explicit solution is computed for the gaits in the base space that locomote the Snakeboard along the desired trajectory. This is achieved by introducing a new momentum-like variable that simplifies the Snakeboard’s equations of motion to allow for such an explicit gait generation technique.

Kinematic controllability and motion planning for the snakeboard
The snakeboard is shown to possess two decoupling vector fields, and to be kinematically controllable. Accordingly, the problem of steering the snakeboard from a given configuration at rest to a desired configuration at rest is posed as a constrained static nonlinear inversion problem. An explicit algorithmic solution to the problem is provided, and its limitations are discussed. An ad hoc solu...
متن کاملSnakeboard Motion Planning with Local Trajectory Information
We address trajectory generation for the snakeboard, a system commonly studied in the geometric mechanics community. Our approach derives a solution using body coordinates and local trajectory information, leading to a more intuitive solution compared to prior work. The simple forms of the solution clearly show how they depend on local curvature and desired velocity profile, allowing for a desc...

In this paper, we give an analytical approximate solution for an integro- differential equation which describes the charged particle motion for certain configurations of oscillating magnetic fields is considered.

متن کاملMotion Planning for Dynamic Variable Inertia Mechanical Systems with Non-holonomic Constraints
In this paper, we address a particular flavor of the motion planning problem, that is, the gait generation problem for underactuated variable inertia mechanical systems. Additionally, we analyze a rather general type of mechanical systems which we refer to as mixed systems. What is unique about this type of mechanical system is that both non-holonomic velocity constraints as well as instantaneo...
متن کاملA Framework for Steering Dynamic Robotic Locomotion Systems
We seek to formulate control and motion planning algorithms for a class of dynamic robotic locomo-tion systems. We consider mechanical systems that involve some type of interaction with the environment and have dynamics that possess rotational and translational symmetries. Research in nonholo-nomic systems and geometric mechanics has led to a single, simpliied framework that describes this clas...
