Action Module Planning and its Application to an Experimental Climbing Robot
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the application of an action module planning method to an experimental climbing robot named LIBRA. The method searches for a sequence of physically realizable actions, called action modules, to produce a plan for a given task. The search is performed with a hierarchical selection process that uses task and configuration filters to reduce the action module inventory to a reasonable search space. Then, a genetic algorithm search finds a sequence of actions that allows the robot to complete the task without violating any physical constraints. The results for the LIBRA climbing robot show the method is able to produce effective plans.

Dynamic Modeling and Construction of a New Two-Wheeled Mobile Manipulator: Self-balancing and Climbing
Designing the self-balancing two-wheeled mobile robots and reducing undesired vibrations are of great importance. For this purpose, the majority of researches are focused on application of relatively complex control approaches without improving the robot structure. Therefore, in this paper we introduce a new two-wheeled mobile robot which, despite its relative simple structure, fulfills the req...

A simplified cartesian computed torque (SCCT) control scheme and its application to an experimental climbing robot named LIBRA is presented. SCCT control is developed exploiting some of the characteristics of highly geared mobile robots. The effectiveness of the method is shown by simulation and experimental results using the LIBRA robot. SCCT control is shown to have improved performance, over...
متن کاملPlanning Motions of Robotic Systems Subject to Force and Friction Constraints with an Application to a Robotic Climber
Multi-limb robots able to apply large forces over large ranges of motion are needed for many tasks. These tasks may strain a system’s actuation capabilities and its ability to maintain secure contact with its environment. The Force-Workspace Approach is presented and used to plan a system’s activities without violating actuation limits or frictional constraints with their tasks and environments...
