چکیده

The motions of planar tracked vehicles are govemed by three force and moment equations, but driven by only two independent control variables. The force equation perpendicular to the tracks represents a d y n a m i c nonholonomic constraint which is explicitly dependent on vehicle speed. It couples path planning with trajectory planning, that is, solving for vehicle kinematic motions requires specifying vehicle speeds. In contrast, wheeled vehicles are governed by kinematic nonholonomic constraints, allowing separate planning of the path and the trajectory. In this paper, we determine the nominal track forces required to follow a specified path at desired speeds. The problem is reduced to computing vehicle orientations along the path that are consistent with the nonholonomic constraint. The computation of vehicle orientations is formulated as a parameter optimization that minimizes the violation of the equality constraint. The method is demonstrated for planar motions along a circular path on flat and inclined planes.

Safe and Resilient Multi-vehicle Trajectory Planning Under Adversarial Intruder

Provably safe and scalable multi-vehicle trajectory planning is an important and urgent problem. Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) reachability is an ideal tool for analyzing such safetycritical systems and has been successfully applied to several smallscale problems. However, a direct application of HJ reachability to multi-vehicle trajectory planning is often intractable due to the “curse of dimensionalit...

Adaptive Robust Control for Trajectory Tracking of Autonomous underwater Vehicles on Horizontal Plane

This manuscript addresses trajectory tracking problem of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) on the horizontal plane. Adaptive sliding mode control is employed in order to achieve a robust behavior against some uncertainty and ocean current disturbances, assuming that disturbance and its derivative are bounded by unknown boundary levels. The proposed approach is based on a dual layer adaptive...
