Nonholonomic Motion Planning for a Free-Falling Cat Using Quasi-Newton Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
The motion planning problem of a free-falling cat is investigated. Nonholonomicity arises in a free-falling cat subject to nonintegrable velocity constraints or nonintegrable conservation laws. When the total angular momentum is zero, the rotational motion of the cat subjects to nonholonomic constraints. The equation of dynamics of a free-falling cat is obtained by using the model of two symmetric rigid bodies. The control of system can be converted to the motion planning problem for a driftless system. Based on the input parameterization, the continuous optimal control problem is transformed into the discrete one. The quasiNewton method of motion planning for nonholonomic multibody system is proposed. The effectiveness of the numerical algorithm is demonstrated by numerical simulation.

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...

In this paper, we solve unconstrained optimization problem using a free line search steepest descent method. First, we propose a double parameter scaled quasi Newton formula for calculating an approximation of the Hessian matrix. The approximation obtained from this formula is a positive definite matrix that is satisfied in the standard secant relation. We also show that the largest eigen value...

This paper deals with nonholonomic motion planning including obstacle avoidance capabilities. We show that the methods developed in absence of obstacles can be extended to the problem of obstacle avoidance, provided that they verify a topological property. Such steering methods allow us to design exact and complete collision-free path planners for a large family of systems. We show that the ste...
