A Case Study in Trajectory Optimization: Putting on an Uneven Green
We study in this paper the problem of how to putt a golf ball on an uneven green so that it will arrive at the hole with minimal final speed. This problem serves as a good case study for trajectory optimization as it illustrates many of the issues that arise in trajectory optimization problems. This putting example is just one of a collection of case studies that will appear in a forthcoming pa...
متن کاملCase Studies in Trajectory Optimization: Trains, Planes, and Other Pastimes
This is the first in a series of papers presenting case studies in modern large-scale constrained optimization, the purpose of which is to illustrate how recent advances in algorithms and modeling languages have made it easy to solve difficult optimization problems using off-the-shelf software. In this first paper, we consider four trajectory optimization problems: (a) how to operate a train ef...
متن کاملTrajectory Optimization of Cable Parallel Manipulators in Point-to-Point Motion
Planning robot trajectory is a complex task that plays a significant role in design and application of robots in task space. The problem is formulated as a trajectory optimization problem which is fundamentally a constrained nonlinear optimization problem. Open-loop optimal control method is proposed as an approach for trajectory optimization of cable parallel manipulator for a given two-end-po...
متن کاملOptimal Trajectory of Flexible Manipulator with Maximum Load Carrying Capacity
In this paper, a new formulation along with numerical solution for the problem of finding a point-to-point trajectory with maximum load carrying capacities for flexible manipulators is proposed. For rigid manipulators, the major limiting factor in determining the Dynamic Load Carrying Capacity (DLCC) is the joint actuator capacity. The flexibility exhibited by light weight robots or by robots o...
متن کاملIntegrated Well Placement and Completion Optimization using Heuristic Algorithms: A Case Study of an Iranian Carbonate Formation
Determination of optimum location for drilling a new well not only requires engineering judgments but also consumes excessive computational time. Additionally, availability of many physical constraints such as the well length, trajectory, and completion type and the numerous affecting parameters including, well type, well numbers, well-control variables prompt that the optimization approaches b...
