Posture interpolation with collision avoidance
نویسندگان
چکیده
While interpolating between successive postures of an articulated figure is not mathematically difficult, it is much more useful to provide postural transactions that are behaviorally reasonable and that avoid collisions with nearby objects. We describe such a posture interpolator which begins with a number of pre-defined static postures. A finite state machine controls the transactions from any posture to a goal posture by finding the shortest path of required motion sequences between the two. If the motion between any two postures is not collision free, a collision avoidance strategy is invoked and the posture is changed to one that satisfies the required goal while respecting object and agent integrity.

متن کاملTime-Variant Artificial Potential Fields in Dynamic Collision Avoidance for Multi-Robot Formation
In this paper, a new algorithm for controlling mobile robot flexible formation based on multiple control objectives is presented. The strategy includes the use of null space for shape and posture control. The obstacle avoidance strategy is based on the definition of fictitious potential energy. The primary objective established is to shape control and obstacle avoidance, whereas the secondary o...
متن کاملMinimal predicted distance: a common metric for collision avoidance during pairwise interactions between walkers.
This study investigated collision avoidance between two walkers by focusing on the conditions that lead to avoidance manoeuvres in locomotor trajectories. Following the hypothesis of a reciprocal interaction, we suggested a mutual variable as a continuous function of the two walkers' states, denoted minimum predicted distance (MPD). This function predicts the risk of collision, and its evolutio...

It is important that the parameter setting is chosen in such a way that the automotive collision avoidance system is not too sens...
متن کاملExperiments in real-time collision avoidance for dexterous 7-DOF arms
A new approach to real-time collision avoidance for dexterous 7-DOF arms and supportive simulation and expem”mentai results are presented. The collision avoidance problem is formulated and solved as a force control problem. Virtual forces opposing intrusion of the arm into the obstacle safety zone are computed in real time. These forces are then nullified bg employing an outer feedback loop whi...
