Motion Planning for Nonlinear Underactuated Vehicles using H∞ Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new solution to the motion planning problem for nonlinear underactuated vehicles. The approach solves the problem by generating a polynomial curve connecting the desired initial and final positions for the vehicle and then using the curve to estimate the vehicle’s complete configuration along the trajectory. The algorithm introduces an iterative H∞filter to improve upon the initial estimate for the trajectory. The solution to the basic motion planning problem can be coupled with randomized path planning algorithms to solve the obstacle avoidance and multiple vehicle versions of the problem. Numerical simulations illustrate the algorithm’s performance on an underactuated planar vehicle.

Kinematic controllability for decoupled trajectory planning in underactuated mechanical systems
We introduce the notion of kinematic controllability for second-order underactuated mechanical systems. For systems satisfying this property, the problem of planning fast collision-free trajectories between zero velocity states can be decoupled into the computationally simpler problems of path planning for a kinematic system followed by timeoptimal time scaling. While this approach is well know...
متن کاملPlanning and Control of Planar Underactuated Marine Vehicles Subject to Linear and Quadratic Drag
This paper tackles the combined problem of trajectory planning and tracking control of planar underactuated marine vehicles with different dynamic models. A reference feasible trajectory for the position and orientation is planned so as to be consistent with each of the three dynamic models. Using these reference values the dynamics of the vehicles is transformed to the error one. Partial state...
متن کاملAn Incremental Stochastic Motion Planning Technique for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
This paper presents a variant of an incremental stochastic motion planning technique for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) that considers both the algebraic constraints, caused by the environment obstacles, and differential constraints, induced by the vehicle dynamics. The term kinodynamic planning is used to describe this type of motion planning. The majority of AUV path planners tend to a...
متن کاملGuidance and Control for Underactuated Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
The main focus of this paper is on the motion planning problem for an under-actuated, submerged, omni-directional autonomous vehicle. Underactuation is extremely important to consider in ocean research and exploration. Battery failure, actuator malfunction and electronic shorts are a few reasons that may cause the vehicle to loose direct control of one or more degrees-of-freedom. Underactuation...
