A Controllability test and Motion planning Primitives for Overconstrained Vehicles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conventional nonholonomic motion planning and control theories do not directly apply to “overconstrained vehicles,” such as the Sojourner vehicle of the Mars Pathfinder mission. This paper discusses some basic issues of motion planning and control for this potentially important class of mobile robots. A power dissipation approach is used to model the governing equations of overconstrained vehicles that move quasi-statically. These equations are shown to be switched hybrid systems. Notions from standard geometric control, such as the Lie bracket, are extended to these switched systems. We then develop a controllability test for such systems. We explore motion planning primitives in the context of simplified examples.

Issues in Controllability and Motion Planning for Overconstrained Wheeled Vehicles
Conventional nonholonomic motion planning and control theories do not directly apply to “overconstrained vehicles,” such as the Sojourner vehicle of the Mars Pathfinder mission. This paper investigates some basic issues that are necessary to build a motion planning and control framework for this potentially important class of mobile robots.

متن کاملControl of Multiple Model Systems
This thesis considers the control of multiple model systems. These are systems for which only one model out of some finite set of models gives the system dynamics at any given time. In particular, the model that gives the system dynamics can change over time. This thesis covers some of the theoretical aspects of these systems, including controllability and stabilizability. As an application, “o...
متن کاملKinematic controllability for decoupled trajectory planning in underactuated mechanical systems
We introduce the notion of kinematic controllability for second-order underactuated mechanical systems. For systems satisfying this property, the problem of planning fast collision-free trajectories between zero velocity states can be decoupled into the computationally simpler problems of path planning for a kinematic system followed by timeoptimal time scaling. While this approach is well know...
متن کاملA local controllability test for nonlinear multiple model systems
This paper develops a local controllability result for Multiple Model Driftless Affine (MMDA) control systems. The controllability result can be interpreted as a non-smooth extension of Chow’s theorem, and uses a set-valued Lie Bracket. These results are interpreted in terms of an illustrative example involving an overconstrained wheeled vehicle.
