Robot Motion Planning using Hyperboloid Potential Functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new approach to robot path planning using hyperboloid potential functions is presented in this paper. Unlike parabolic potential functions, where the control force increases with distance from the goal and is unbound, and conic potential functions where a singularity occurs at the goal, hyperboloid potential functions avoid both these drawbacks. However, they do combine the advantages of both parabolic and conic potentials as the asymptotic property of the hyperbolic function ensures bounded control forces, while stability and smooth contact are guaranteed at the goal point.

Mobile Robot Online Motion Planning Using Generalized Voronoi Graphs
In this paper, a new online robot motion planner is developed for systematically exploring unknown environ¬ments by intelligent mobile robots in real-time applications. The algorithm takes advantage of sensory data to find an obstacle-free start-to-goal path. It does so by online calculation of the Generalized Voronoi Graph (GVG) of the free space, and utilizing a combination of depth-first an...

متن کاملNew potential functions for mobile robot path planning
This paper first describes the problem of goals nonreachable with obstacles nearby when using potential field methods for mobile robot path planning. Then, new repulsive potential functions are presented by taking the relative distance between the robot and the goal into consideration, which ensures that the goal position is the global minimum of the total potential.

In this paper, stability analysis of walking gaits and robustness analysis are developed for a five-link and four-actuator biped robot. Stability conditions are derived by studying unactuated dynamics and using the Poincaré map associated with periodic walking gaits. A stable gait is designed by an optimization process satisfying physical constraints and stability conditions. Also, considering...
