In this paper we present an algorithm for planning the path of a 3 DOF mobile platform for a humanoid robot. It is simple enough to be executed online and yet powerful enough to generate a smooth path from starting point and orientation to a destination point with a different orientation. Thus we strive to achieve a human-like appearance of our robot that encourages the humans in vicinity to in...

being one of the major research fields in the robotics discipline, the robot motion planning problem deals with finding an obstacle-free start-to-goal path for a robot navigating among workspace obstacles. such a problem is also encountered in path planning of intelligent vehicles and automatic guided vehicles (agvs). traditional (exact) algorithms have failed to solve the problem effectively s...

The objective of this paper is path planning of a 3 DOF planer robot with hydraulic actuator using genetic algorithm. First the geometric and kinematic parameters of robot were established. The equations of motion are derived by Lagrange method. We proposed the model for proportional valve and hydraulic actuators. Then using the genetic algorithm we minimized the hydraulic energy consumption as...

In path planning Problems, a complete description of robot geometry, environments and obstacle are presented; the main goal is routing, moving from source to destination, without dealing with obstacles. Also, the existing route should be optimal. The definition of optimality in routing is the same as minimizing the route, in other words, the best possible route to reach the destination. In most...

This paper proposes a hybrid path planning algorithm incorporating a global and local search mechanism for mobile robot. The global path planning is based on Voronoi graph to establish a backbone path for the map with significantly reduced nodes for the original grid map. With the use of the backbone path, the D* algorithm is adopted to determine a shortest path between the starting and end poi...

A new framework of a hierarchical vision-motion planning for a mobile robot under uncertainty is proposed. An optimal plan is generated by twolevel planning: global route selection and local path planning. In global route selection, a sequence of observation points to acquire sufficient information to reach a destination is determined. Both the cost and the uncertainty of vision are considered ...

In dynamic environment, the path planning of mobile robot is a problem difficult to solve. A path planning method for mobile robot based on genetic algorithm is put forward. This method makes use of real number coding and adaptive function with definite physical meaning in the dynamic environment so as to accelerate real-time calculation and improve calculation precision. The simulation result ...

Motion planning is one of the important tasks in intelligent control of an autonomous mobile robot. Path planning is to generate a collision free path in an environment with obstacles with respect to some criterion. Trajectory planning is to schedule the movement of a mobile robot along the planned path. Several approaches have been proposed to address the problem of motion planning of a mobile...
