abstract

the large amount of computation necessary for obtaining time optimal solution for moving a manipulator on specified path has made it impossible to introduce an on line time optimal control algorithm. most of this computational burden is due to calculation of switching points. in this paper a learning algorithm is proposed for finding the switching points. the method, which can be used for both serial and parallel manipulators, is based on a two-switch algorithm with three segments of moving with maximum acceleration, constant velocity and maximum deceleration along the path. the learning algorithm is aimed at decreasing the length of constant velocity segment in each step of learning process. the algorithm is applied to find the near minimum time solution of a parallel manipulator along a specified path. the results prove versatility of the algorithm both in tracking accuracy and short training process.

Time - Optimal Control of Robotic Manipulators Along Specified Paths

The minimum-time manipulator control problem is solved for the case when the path is specified and the actuator torque limitations are known. The optimal open-loop torques are found, and a method is given for implementing these torques with a conventional linear feedback control system. The algorithm allows bounds on the torques that may be arbitrary functions of the joint angles and angular ve...

Dsc-17a-2 Smooth and Time-optimal Trajectory Planning for Industrial Manipulators along Specified Paths

This paper presents a method for determining smooth and time-optimal path-constrained trajectories for robotic manipulators. The desired smoothness of the trajectory is imposed through limits on the actuator jerks. The third derivative of the path parameter with respect to time, the pseudo-jerk, is the controlled input. The limits on the actuator torques translate into state-dependent limits on...

On-line near minimum-time path planning and control of an industrial robot for picking fruits

To be competitive, an industrial robot picking fruits must be able to perform this task in an amount of time which compares to that needed by humans. Because the location of a fruit changes due to the picking of others, the determination of their location has to be performed on-line and also the associated path planning for the robot. This poses two major problems in the development of fruit-pi...

COMPARISON BETWEEN MINIMUM AND NEAR MINIMUM TIME OPTIMAL CONTROL OF A FLEXIBLE SLEWING SPACECRAFT

In this paper, a minimum and near-minimum time optimal control laws are developed and compared for a rigid space platform with flexible links during an orientating maneuver with large angle of rotation. The control commands are considered as typical bang-bang with multiple symmetrical switches, the time optimal control solution for the rigid-body mode is obtained as a bang-bang function and app...
