چکیده

A method is presented for planning obstacle-avoiding paths for a system which exhibits nonholonomic constraints. The method is based on the use of harmonic functions. Linear constraints on the velocity of a nonholonomic system can be directly expressed as Neumann boundary conditions for a harmonic function. Such boundary conditions are easily represented in a resistive network. The resulting potential represents an integration of nonholonomic constraints over an admissible subset of connguration space. The method is applied to path planning for simple wheeled vehicles.

مسیریابی حرکت روبات‌های ماشین‌واره با روش پیشروی سریع

The Robot Motion Planning (RMP) problem deals with finding a collision-free start-to-goal path for a robot navigating among workspace obstacles. Such a problem is also encountered in path planning of intelligent vehicles and Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs). In terms of kinematic constraints, the RMP problem can be categorized into two groups of Holonomic and Nonholonomic problems. In the first...

Path Planning for Mobile Robot with Half-sweep Successive Over- Relaxation (hssor) Iterative Method

This paper describes our work in solving path planning problem for mobile robot by using harmonic functions to generate path in the configuration space. Harmonic functions are known to have an advantage as a global potential function in the potential field based approach for robot path planning. However, an immense amount of computations are required as the size of the environment get bigger. T...

On Path Planning and Obstacle Avoidance for Nonholonomic Platforms with Manipulators

A planning methodology for nonholonomic mobile platforms with manipulators in the presence of obstacles is developed that employs smooth and continuous functions such as polynomials. The method yields admissible input trajectories that drive both the manipulator and the platform to a desired configuration and is based on mapping the nonholonomic constraint to a space where it can be satisfied t...

Autonomous Parallel Parking of a Car Based on Parking Space Detection and Fuzzy Controller

This paper develops an automatic parking algorithm based on a fuzzy logic controller with the vehicle pose for the input and the steering angle for the output. In this way some feasible reference trajectory path have been introduced according to geometric and kinematic constraints and nonholonomic constraints to simulate motion path of car. Also a novel method is used for parking space detec...

As a flexible needle with a bevel tip is pushed through soft tissue, the asymmetry of the tip causes the needle to bend. We propose that, by using nonholonomic kinematics, control, and path planning, an appropriately designed needle can be steered through tissue to reach a specified 3D target. Such steering capability could enhance targeting accuracy and may improve outcomes for percutaneous th...
