Path planning is a method that determines a path, consecutive states, between a start state and goal state, LaValle (2006). However, in motion planning that path must be parameterized by time to create a trajectory. Consequently, not only is the path determined, but the time the vehicle moves along the path. To be successful at motion planning, a vehicle model must be incorporated into the traj...

In the paper we present a solution to the optimal trajectory planning problem subject to constraints given by the actuator torques and velocities, and the task. The main result is a trajectory planning algorithm which enables the calculation of the optimal motion due to the given requirements and taking into account the dynamics of the manipulator. The dynamic model of the manipulator in the pa...

We introduce the notion of kinematic controllability for second-order underactuated mechanical systems. For systems satisfying this property, the problem of planning fast collision-free trajectories between zero velocity states can be decoupled into the computationally simpler problems of path planning for a kinematic system followed by timeoptimal time scaling. While this approach is well know...

To tackle with mobile robot path planning problem, we developed a novel path planning method utilized 3D grid map. Firstly we construct point cloud map using mobile robot equipped with 3D-LRF, then we transform point cloud into octree data structure, getting 3D grid map. We take mobile robots size and motion into consideration, develop a D* lite algorithm based path planning method which can ge...

This paper addresses the combined problem of trajectory planning and tracking control for underactuated autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) on the horizontal plane. Given a smooth, inertial, 2D reference trajectory, the planning algorithm uses vehicle dynamics to compute the reference orientation and body-fixed velocities. Using these, the error dynamics are obtained. These are stabilized usi...

In this paper we consider the problem of motion planning and control of a kinematically redundant manipulator which is used on forestry machines for logging. Once a desired path is specified in the 3D world frame, a trajectory can be planned and executed such that all joints are synchronized and path-constrained. A speed profile can be chosen according to particular costs (time, fuel consumptio...
