Large Motion Control of Mobile Manipulators including Vehicle Suspension Characteristics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conventional fixed-base controllers are shown not to perform well on mobile manipulators due to the dynamic interactions between a manipulator and its vehicle. An extended jacobian transpose control algorithm is developed to improve the performance of such manipulator systems. It is shown to perform well in the presence of modelling errors and the practical limitations imposed by the sensory information available for control in highly unstructured field environments.

Control of Wheeled Mobile Manipulators with Flexible Suspension Considering Wheels Slip Effects
Wheeled mobile manipulators utilize both the locomotion capabilities of the wheeled platform and manipulation capacity of the arm. While the modelling and control of such systems have previously been studied, most of them have considered robots with rigid suspension and their wheels are subject to pure rolling conditions. To relax the aforementioned limiting assumptions, this research addresses...
متن کاملLarge Motion Control of an Experimental Mobile Manipulator with Limited Sensing
ABSTRACT Two recently developed motion control algorithms for mobile manipulators are applied to an experimental system. The manipulator motions induce significant dynamic interactions with its vehicle and suspension. A conventional fixed-base controller, which typically neglects these dynamic interactions, is shown to lead to poor performance. Both mobile manipulator control algorithms, howeve...
متن کاملControl of Mobile Manipulators including Vehicle Dynamic Characteristics
The dynamic interactions between a mobile manipulator and its vehicle are shown to lead to poor performance when conventional fixed-base controllers, which neglect these interactions, are used. An extended jacobian transpose control algorithm is developed, which accounts for dynamic vehicle motions caused by manipulator motions. It is shown to perform well, even in the presence of modeling erro...
متن کاملDynamic Load Carrying Capacity of Mobile-Base Flexible-Link Manipulators: Feedback Linearization Control Approach
This paper focuses on the effects of closed- control on the calculation of the dynamic load carrying capacity (DLCC) for mobile-base flexible-link manipulators. In previously proposed methods in the literature of DLCC calculation in flexible robots, an open-loop control scheme is assumed, whereas in reality, robot control is achieved via closed loop approaches which could render the calculated ...
متن کاملMaximum Allowable Dynamic Load of Flexible 2-Link Mobile Manipulators Using Finite Element Approach
In this paper a general formulation for finding the maximum allowable dynamic load (MADL) of flexible link mobile manipulators is presented. The main constraints used for the algorithm presented are the actuator torque capacity and the limited error bound for the end-effector during motion on the given trajectory. The precision constraint is taken into account with two boundary lines in plane w...
