An Approximate Algorithm for Nonholonomic Motion Planning
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a steering algorithm for general nonholonomic systems which are not required to possess special properties such as flatness or exact nilpotentizability. The method makes use of local steering laws, with suitable contraction properties, designed on the basis of a continuous approximation of the system.

Steering Nonholonomic Systems via Nilpotent Approximations: The General Two-Trailer System
Existing methods for nonholonomic motion planning can only be applied to exactly nilpotentizable or flat systems. For nonholonomic systems that do not fall into the above classes, we conjecture that globally defined nilpotent approximations will allow the synthesis of efficient steering and stabilization strategies. In this paper, a car towing two off-hooked trailers is considered as a case stu...
متن کاملDesign and Control of a Chained Form Manipulator
Exploiting unique features of nonholonomic systems, innovative and advantageous mechanisms can be designed. We have proposed a nonholonomic manipulator which is a controllable n joint manipulator with only two actuators. In order to create its nonholonomic constraint, a special type of velocity transmission, called the nonholonomic gear, was developed. There are many possible alternatives for d...
متن کاملOn certain hyperelliptic signals that are natural controls for nonholonomic motion planning
In this paper we address the general problem of approximating, in a certain optimal way, non admissible motions of a kinematic system with nonholonomic constraints. Since this kind of problems falls into the general subriemannian geometric setting, it is natural to consider optimality in the sense of approximating by means of subriemannian geodesics. We consider systems modeled by a subriemanni...
متن کاملOptimal motion planning for nonholonomic systems using genetic algorithm with wavelet approximation
An optimal motion planning scheme using genetic algorithm with wavelet approximation is proposed for nonholonomic systems. The motion planning of nonholonomic systems can be formulated as an optimal control of a driftfree system. A cost function is introduced to incorporate the control energy and the final state errors. The control inputs are determined to minimize the cost functional. By using...
متن کاملSensor-Based Motion Planning for a Car-like Robot Based On Bug Family Algorithms
This paper presents a sensor-based motion planning algorithm for 3-DOF car-like robots with a nonholonomic constraint. Similar to the classic Bug family algorithms, the proposed algorithm enables the car-like robot to navigate in a completely unknown environment using only the range sensor information. The car-like robot uses the local range sensor view to determine the local path so that it mo...
