Mission Planning for a Mobile Service Robot
نویسنده
چکیده
In office and domestic environments there are several different tasks that are considered as boring or time-consuming, which would preferably be carried out by an autonomous mobile service robot. One of the primary tasks for a mobile service robot is to perform fetch-and-carry missions. For a robot to be able to perform a mission, the mission first must be planned, which is done by a mission planner system. In this thesis the development of an improved mission planner system is described, to be used in an existing robot system. The development includes also a human-robot interface and a mission executer. The tasks for the human-robot interface are to interpret a command sentence, perform a validity check of user commands and to resolve ambiguous commands by entering a dialogue with the user. The mission planner, of concern in this thesis, is a navigation planner capable of performing on-line planning in an office or domestic environment, using a hierarchical topologic map representation. The mission executer has the capability to handle errors during mission execution, e.g. if a passage is blocked the mission is replanned to find an alternative path. Each problem area is introduced and earlier work is presented as a basis for a design. The developed system was tested and evaluated, and presented results include working functionality, experimental runtime evaluations of algorithms and identifications of limitations and other issues open for future work.

Optimal Trajectory Planning of a Box Transporter Mobile Robot
This paper aims to discuss the requirements of safe and smooth trajectory planning of transporter mobile robots to perform non-prehensile object manipulation task. In non-prehensile approach, the robot and the object must keep their grasp-less contact during manipulation task. To this end, dynamic grasp concept is employed for a box manipulation task and corresponding conditions are obtained an...

Mobile robots that consist of a mobile platform with one or many manipulators mounted on it are of great interest in a number of applications. Combination of platform and manipulator causes robot operates in extended work space. The analysis of these systems includes kinematics redundancy that makes more complicated problem. However, it gives more feasibility to robotic systems because of the e...
متن کاملDynamic mission planning for multiple mobile robots
Planning for multiple mobile robots in dynamic environments involves determining the optimal path each robot should follow to accomplish the goals of the mission, given the current knowledge available about the world. As knowledge increases or improves, the planning system should dynamically reassign robots to goals in order to continually minimize the time to complete the mission. In this pape...

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...
