Abstract:

Planning robot trajectory is a complex task that plays a significant role in design and application of robots in task space. The problem is formulated as a trajectory optimization problem which is fundamentally a constrained nonlinear optimization problem. Open-loop optimal control method is proposed as an approach for trajectory optimization of cable parallel manipulator for a given two-end-point task in point-to-point motion. Dynamic equations are organized in a closed form and are formulated in the state space form. A computational technique is developed for obtaining optimal trajectory to maximize dynamic load carrying capacity. By solving the corresponding nonlinear TPBVP, the problem of optimal path and maximum carrying for a 6 DOF spatial cable robot is studied. Finally, dynamic modelling in ADAMS is presented and to validate the optimal control method, optimal trajectory concerned with dynamic motion is compared with the software results.

optimal motion generating of nonholonomic manipulators with elastic revolute joints in generalized point-to-point task

this paper presents optimal control method to path planning of mobile robots with flexible joints. dynamic equations are derived and additional kinematic constraints are used to solve the extra dofs arose from base mobility. then with modeling the elasticity at each joint as a linear torsinal spring, the set of equations are formed. the hamiltonian function is formed and the necessary condition...

trajectory path planning of cable driven parallel manipulators, considering masses and flexibility of the cables

cable driven parallel manipulator (cdpm) is a special class of parallel manipulator in which the rigid extensible links are replaced by actuated cables. it is necessary to take into consideration the cable dynamics, i.e.; its mass, flexibility and curved shape for manipulating a long-span cdpm. these terms complicate governing equation of motion in a way that special tactic are applied for simu...

Point-to-Point trajectory planning of flexible redundant robot manipulators using genetic algorithms

The paper focuses on the problem of point-to-point trajectory planning for flexible redundant robot manipulators (FRM) in joint space. Compared with irredundant flexible manipulators, a FRM possesses additional possibilities during point-to-point trajectory planning due to its kinematics redundancy. A trajectory planning method to minimize vibration and/or executing time of a point-to-point mot...

Optimal Point-to-Point Trajectory Tracking of Redundant Manipulators using Generalized Pattern Search

Optimal point-to-point trajectory planning for planar redundant manipulator is considered in this study. The main objective is to minimize the sum of the position error of the end-effector at each intermediate point along the trajectory so that the end-effector can track the prescribed trajectory accurately. An algorithm combining Genetic Algorithm and Pattern Search as a Generalized Pattern Se...

Reduced-order observer-based point-to-point and trajectory controllers for robot manipulators

This paper presents a design procedure for a reduced-order observer-based controller dedicated to n-joint robot manipulators. It is assumed that only the joint angular positions are measured. The joint angular velocities are estimated via an exponential reduced-order observer. Two types of control laws based on this observer are studied: point-to-point control with gravity compensation and traj...
