چکیده

Based on a nonlinear hybrid dynamical systems model a new planning method for optimal coordination and control of multiple unmanned vehicles is investigated. The time dependent hybrid state of the overall system consists of discrete (roles, actions) and continuous (e.g. position, orientation, velocity) state variables of the vehicles involved. The evolution in time of the system’s hybrid state is described by a hybrid state automaton. The presented approach enables a tight and formal coupling of discrete and continuous state dynamics, i.e. of dynamic role and action assignment and sequencing as well as of the physical motion dynamics of a single vehicle modeled by nonlinear differential equations. The planning problem of determining optimal hybrid state trajectories that minimize a cost function as time or energy for optimal multi-vehicle cooperation subject to constraints including the vehicle’s motion dynamics is transformed to a mixed-binary dynamic optimization problem being solved numerically. The numerical method consists of an inner iteration where multiphase optimal control problems are solved using a direct collocation method and an outer iteration based on a branch-and-bound search of the discrete solution space. The approach presented in this paper is applied to the scenarios of optimal simultaneous waypoint or target sequencing and dynamic trajectory planning for a team of unmanned aerial vehicles in a plane and to optimal role assignment and physics-based trajectories in robot soccer.

Optimal Trajectory Planning of a Box Transporter Mobile Robot

This paper aims to discuss the requirements of safe and smooth trajectory planning of transporter mobile robots to perform non-prehensile object manipulation task. In non-prehensile approach, the robot and the object must keep their grasp-less contact during manipulation task. To this end, dynamic grasp concept is employed for a box manipulation task and corresponding conditions are obtained an...
