Reactive Trajectory Deformation to Navigate Dynamic Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Path deformation is a technique that was introduced to generate robot motion wherein a path, that has been computed beforehand, is continuously deformed on-line in response to unforeseen obstacles. In an effort to improve path deformation, this paper presents a trajectory deformation scheme. The main idea is that by incorporating the time dimension and hence information on the obstacles’ future behaviour, quite a number of situations where path deformation would fail can be handled. The trajectory represented as a space-time curve is subject to deformation forces both external (to avoid collision with the obstacles) and internal (to maintain trajectory feasibility and connectivity). The trajectory deformation scheme has been tested successfully on a planar robot with double integrator dynamics moving in dynamic environments.

The robotic system, which is equipped with a visual sensor, laser range finders, navigates in the environment. The neural controllers generate the robot arm motion in dy...
متن کاملOptimal Trajectory of Flexible Manipulator with Maximum Load Carrying Capacity
In this paper, a new formulation along with numerical solution for the problem of finding a point-to-point trajectory with maximum load carrying capacities for flexible manipulators is proposed. For rigid manipulators, the major limiting factor in determining the Dynamic Load Carrying Capacity (DLCC) is the joint actuator capacity. The flexibility exhibited by light weight robots or by robots o...
متن کاملReactive Trajectory Deformation for Nonholonomic Systems: Application to Mobile Robots
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to reactive obstacle avoidance for nonholonomic systems. The method is based on the deformation of an initial trajectory computed by a motion planner. The deformation we perform keeps the nonholonomic constraints of the system satisfied. The deformation algorithm is based on a potential field generated by obstacles. We applied this approach to the mobi...
متن کاملTrajectory tracking of mobile robots in dynamic environments - a linear algebra approach
A new approach for navigation of mobile robots in dynamic environments by using Linear Algebra Theory, Numerical Methods, and a modification of the Force Field Method is presented in this paper. The controller design is based on the dynamic model of a unicycle-like nonholonomic mobile robot. Previous studies very often ignore the dynamics of mobile robots and suffer from algorithmic singulariti...
