Trajectory Planning for Mobile Manipulators with Control Constraints
Abstract
This paper presents the method of trajectory planning for mobile manipulators considering limitations resulting from capabilities of robotic system actuators. The fulfillment of control constraints is achieved by introducing virtual control scaling of the robot trajectory in the limited periods of time. Such an approach allows researchers to obtain the trajectories fulfilling control constraints without significantly increasing the time of task execution. The proposed method generates sub-optimal trajectories maximizing the manipulability measure of the robot arm, preserves mechanical and collision avoidance limitations and can be used in real-time trajectory planning. The effectiveness of the presented solution is confirmed by computer simulations involving a mobile manipulator with parameters corresponding to KUKA youBot.

Planowanie trajektorii dla manipulatorów mobilnych z ograniczeniami na sterowania
Streszczenie
W pracy przedstawiono metodę planowania trajektorii dla manipulatorów mobilnych uwzględniającą ograniczenia wynikające z możliwości układów napędowych robota. Spełnienie ograniczeń na sterowana zostało osiągnięte poprzez wprowadzenie wirtualnego sterowania skalującego trajektorię robota w ograniczonych przedziałach czasu. Takie podejście pozwoliło na uzyskanie trajektorii spełniających ograniczenia na sterowania bez znaczącego wydłużenia czasu realizacji zadania. Zaproponowana metoda generuje sub-optymalne trajektorie maksymalizując miarę manipulowalności ramienia robota, zachowuje ograniczenia mechaniczne oraz warunki unikania kolizji i może być zastosowana do planowania trajektorii w czasie rzeczywistym. Skuteczność zaproponowanego rozwiązania została potwierdzona symulacjami komputerowymi wykonanymi z użyciem mobilnego manipulatora o parametrach odpowiadających robotowi KUKA youBot.
