A path planning strategy for kinematically redundant manipulators anticipating joint failures in the presence of obstacles
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 environment. A method is presented that searches for a continuous obstacle-free space between the starting configuration and the desired final end-effector position which is characterized in the joint space by the goal selfmotion manifold. This method guarantees completion of critical tasks in the event of a single locked-joint failure in the presence of obstacles.

متن کاملFault tolerance for kinematically redundant manipulators: anticipating free-swinging joint failures
Fault tolerance is an important design criterion for robotic systems operating in hazardous or remote environments. This article addresses the issue of tolerating a free-swinging joint failure by focusing on how to best configure a slow-moving manipulator before a failure. Three scalar measures of fault susceptibility are defined using joint torques/forces, accelerations, and swing angles. Mini...

A solution method is presented for the motion planning and control of kinematically redundant serial-link manipulators in the presence of motion constraints such as joint limits or obstacles. Given a trajectory for the end-effector, the approach utilizes the recently proposed Full Space Parameterization (FSP) method to generate a parameterized expression for the entire space of solutions of the...
متن کاملIncluding a non-holonomic constraint in the FSP (full space parameterization) method for mobile manipulators' motion planning
The efficient utilization of the motion capabilities of mobile manipulators, Le., manipulators mounted on mobile platforms, requires the resolution of the kinematically redundant system formed by the addition of the degrees of freedom (d.0.f.) of the platform to those of the manipulator. At the velocity level, the linearized Jacobian equation for such a redundant system represents an underspeci...
