Continuous Path Planning of Kinematically Redundant Manipulator using Particle Swarm Optimization

چکیده
This paper addresses a problem of a continuous path planning of a redundant manipulator where an end-effector needs to follow a desired path. Based on a geometrical analysis, feasible postures of a self-motion are mapped into an interval so that there will be an angle domain boundary and a redundancy resolution to track the desired path lies within this boundary. To choose a best solution among many possible solutions, metaheuristic optimizations, namely, a Genetic Algorithm (GA), a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and a Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) will be employed with an optimization objective to minimize a joint angle travelling distance. To achieve nconnectivity of sampling points, the angle domain trajectories are modelled using a sinusoidal function generated inside the angle domain boundary. A complex geometrical path obtained from Bezier and algebraic curves are used as the traced path that should be followed by a 3-Degree of Freedom (DOF) arm robot manipulator and a hyper-redundant manipulator. The path from the PSO yields better results than that of the GA and GWO. Keywords—Path planning; redundant manipulator; genetic algorithm; particle swarm optimization; grey wolf optimizer insert

PASO: An Integrated, Scalable PSO-based Optimization Framework for Hyper-Redundant Manipulator Path Planning and Inverse Kinematics
Hyper-redundant manipulation is the use of a hyper-DOF robotic system to accomplish tasks such as picking, placing, reaching, and exploring in challenging environments. Hyper-redundant manipulation involves both finding collisionfree configuration-space paths (the path planning (PP) problem) and transforming a given workspace target pose into a configuration space goal (the inverse kinematics (...

This work considers the failure tolerant operation of a kinematically redundant manipulator in an environment containing obstacles. In particular, the article addresses the problem of planning a collision-free path for a manipulator operating in a static environment such that the manipulator can reach its desired goal despite a single locked-joint failure and the presence of obstacles in the en...

The morphological design of kinematically redundant robotic manipulators is a non-trivial, task-specific process. The availability of redundant degrees of freedom (DOF) affords a redundant manipulator an infinite number of motion solutions for a given task, thereby allowing the achievement secondary manipulation goals. Motion control methods play an integral role in the quality of redundancy re...

In this paper we introduce an improvement in the path planning algorithm for the humanoid soccer playing robot which uses Ferguson splines and PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization). The objective of the algorithm is to find a path through other playing robots to the ball, which should be as short as possible and also safe enough. Ferguson splines create preliminary paths using random generated para...

There is a need for highly redundant manipulators to work in complex, cluttered environments. We explore kinematics and path planning for highly redundant manipulators by means of a continuous manipulator model, which captures the macroscopic shape of highly redundant manipulators. A path for the continuous manipulator model can be found by nding a smooth path for its end-e ector under a maximu...
