Flatness and motion planning : the car with n trailers . ∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
A solution of the motion planning without obstacles for the nonholonomic system describing a car with n trailers is proposed. This solution relies basically on the fact that the system is flat with the cartesian coordinates of the last trailer as linearizing output. The Frnet formulas are used to simplify the calculation. The 2-trailers case is treated in details and illustrated through parking simulations.

Flatness and Defect of Nonlinear Systems: Introductory Theory and Examples
We introduce flat systems, which are equivalent to linear ones via a special type of feedback called endogenous. Their physical properties are subsumed by a linearizing output and they might be regarded as providing another nonlinear extension of Kalman’s controllability. The distance to flatness is measured by a non-negative integer, the defect. We utilize differential algebra which suits well...
متن کاملMotion planing, equivalence, infinite dimensional systems
Motion planning, i.e., steering a system from one state to another, is a basic question in automatic control. For a certain class of systems described by ordinary differential equations and called flat systems [7, 8], motion planning admits simple and explicit solutions. This stems from an explicit description of the trajectories by an arbitrary time function y, the flat output, and a finite nu...

متن کاملNon-holonomic interpolation motion planning for the car with trailers
In this paper we present new results on the path planning problem in the case study of the car with trailers. We formulate the problem in the framework of optimal nonholonomic interpolation and we use standard techniques of nonlinear optimal control theory for deriving hyperelliptic signals as controls for driving the system in an optimal way. The hyperelliptic curves contains as many loops as ...
متن کاملA Multi-steering Trailer System: Conversion into Chained Form Using Dyanmic Feedback
In this paper, the kinematic model of an autonomous mobile robot system consisting of a chain of steerable cars and passive trailers with axle-to-axle hitching is examined and converted into a multi-input chained form using dynamic state feedback. Some of the methods which have been proposed for steering two-input chained form systems are generalized to multi-chained systems, and then applied t...
