Nonholonomic motion planning for multiple mobile manipulators
نویسندگان
چکیده
We address the problem of motion planning for nonholonomic cooperating mobile robots manipulating and transporting objects while holding them in a stable grasp. We present a general approach based on the calculus of variations that allows us to obtain optimal trajectories and actuator forces/torques for any maneuver in the presence of obstacles. In addition, geometric constraints such as joint limits, kinematic constraints such as nonholonomic velocity constraints and dynamic constraints can be easily incorporated into the planning scheme. The application of the method is illustrated by computing motion plans for several examples .

Optimal Motion Plans for Cooperating Nonholonomic Mobile Manipulators in an Environment with Obstacles
We address the motion planning problem for multiple cooperating manipulators on nonholonomic carts. The mobile manipulators possess the ability to manipulate and transport objects while holding them in a stable grasp. We present a general approach that allows the generation of optimal trajectories and actuator inputs for any given maneuver in the presence of obstacles. We assume a meaningful in...
متن کاملNonholonomic Motion Planning for Mobile Manipulators
|A nonholonomic motion planner for mobile manipulators moving in cluttered environments is presented. The approach is based on a discontinous feedback law under the infuence of a special potential eld. Convergence is shown via Lyapunov's direct method. Utilizing redundancy, the methodology allows the system to perform secondary, connguration dependent, objectives such as singularity avoidance. ...

This paper presents an integrated task planning and control approach for manipulating a nonholonomic cart by mobile manipulators. The task considered in this study is to manipulate a nonholonomic cart to perform certain tasks such as pushing the cart along a straight line, making a turn at a corner, or tracking a sine wave. The cart manipulation task fully integrates the motion and force planni...

This paper presents the first motion planning methodology applicable to articulated, non-point nonholonomic robots with guaranteed collision avoidance and convergence properties. It is based on a new class of nonsmooth Lyapunov functions (DILFs) and a novel extension of the navigation function method to account for non-point articulated robots. The Dipolar Inverse Lyapunov Functions introduced ...
