Book Simultaneous Motion and Interaction Force Control of a Nonholonomic Mobile Manipulator

Download or read book Simultaneous Motion and Interaction Force Control of a Nonholonomic Mobile Manipulator written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis we focus on the problem of combined motion and force control of a nonholonomic mobile manipulator system. The mobile manipulator under consideration consists of a differentially-driven mobile base with a planar two-link manipulator mounted on top. Both the mobile base and the two-link manipulator operate in the horizontal plane. Such a combination of a mobile base and manipulator provides for a larger workspace and a broader set of capabilities to manipulate the motions and forces with the environment. However, such systems also feature considerable redundancy which needs to be effectively resolved in order to achieve these goals. We first develop a kinematic model of the mobile manipulator system and formulate the nonholonomic wheel constraints. Next we develop the dynamic mathematical model of the system using the energy-based constrained Lagrange dynamic modeling technique. This dynamic model serves as the basis for subsequent dynamic control and becomes the virtual prototype for control-law simulation/validation.

Book Nonholonomic Motion Planning

Download or read book Nonholonomic Motion Planning written by Zexiang Li and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonholonomic Motion Planning grew out of the workshop that took place at the 1991 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. It consists of contributed chapters representing new developments in this area. Contributors to the book include robotics engineers, nonlinear control experts, differential geometers and applied mathematicians. Nonholonomic Motion Planning is arranged into three chapter groups: Controllability: one of the key mathematical tools needed to study nonholonomic motion. Motion Planning for Mobile Robots: in this section the papers are focused on problems with nonholonomic velocity constraints as well as constraints on the generalized coordinates. Falling Cats, Space Robots and Gauge Theory: there are numerous connections to be made between symplectic geometry techniques for the study of holonomies in mechanics, gauge theory and control. In this section these connections are discussed using the backdrop of examples drawn from space robots and falling cats reorienting themselves. Nonholonomic Motion Planning can be used either as a reference for researchers working in the areas of robotics, nonlinear control and differential geometry, or as a textbook for a graduate level robotics or nonlinear control course.

Book Coordinated Control of a Mobile Manipulator

Download or read book Coordinated Control of a Mobile Manipulator written by Yoshio Yamamoto and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "In this technical report, we investigate modeling, control, and coordination of mobile manipulators. A mobile manipulator in this study consists of a robotic manipulator and a mobile platform, with the manipulator being mounted atop the mobile platform. A mobile manipulator combines the dextrous manipulation capability offered by fixed- base manipulators and the mobility offered by mobile platforms. While mobile manipulators offer a tremendous potential for flexible material handling and other tasks, at the same time they bring about a number of challenging issues rather than simply increasing the structural complexity. First, combining a manipulator and a platform creates redundancy. Second, a wheeled mobile platform is subject to nonholonomic constraints. Third, there exists dynamic interaction between the manipulator and the mobile platform. Fourth, manipulators and mobile platforms have different bandwidths. Mobile platforms typically have slower dynamic response than manipulators. The objective of the thesis is to develop control algorithms that effectively coordinate manipulation and mobility of mobile manipulators. We begin with deriving the motion equations of mobile manipulators. The derivation presented here makes use of the existing motion equations of manipulators and mobile platforms, and simply introduces the velocity and acceleration dependent terms that account for the dynamic interaction between manipulators and mobile platforms. Since nonholonomic constraints play a critical role in control of mobile manipulators, we then study the control properties of nonholonomic dynamic systems, including feedback linearization and internal dynamics. Based on the newly proposed concept of preferred operating region, we develop a set of coordination algorithms for mobile manipulators. While the manipulator performs manipulation tasks, the mobile platform is controlled to always bring the configuration of the manipulator into a preferred operating region. The control algorithms for two types of tasks -- dragging motion and following motion -- are discussed in detail. The effects of dynamic interaction are also investigated. To verify the efficacy of the coordination algorithms, we conduct numerical simulations with representative task trajectories. Additionally, the control agorithms for the dragging motion and following motion have been implemented on an experimental mobile manipulator. The results from the simulation and experiment are presented to support the proposed control algorithms."

Book Towards Modular Cooperation Between Multiple Nonholonomic Mobile Manipulators

Download or read book Towards Modular Cooperation Between Multiple Nonholonomic Mobile Manipulators written by Rajankumar M. Bhatt and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent times, there has been considerable interest in creating and deploying modular cooperating collectives of robots. Interest in such cooperative systems typically arises when certain tasks are either too complex to be performed by a single robot or when there are distinct benefits that accrue by cooperation of many simple robotic modules. In this dissertation, we examine these aspects in the context of cooperative payload manipulation and transport by wheeled mobile module collectives with tightly-coupled dynamics arising from the physical interactions between various modules.

Book Repetitive Motion Planning and Control of Redundant Robot Manipulators

Download or read book Repetitive Motion Planning and Control of Redundant Robot Manipulators written by Yunong Zhang and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Repetitive Motion Planning and Control of Redundant Robot Manipulators presents four typical motion planning schemes based on optimization techniques, including the fundamental RMP scheme and its extensions. These schemes are unified as quadratic programs (QPs), which are solved by neural networks or numerical algorithms. The RMP schemes are demonstrated effectively by the simulation results based on various robotic models; the experiments applying the fundamental RMP scheme to a physical robot manipulator are also presented. As the schemes and the corresponding solvers presented in the book have solved the non-repetitive motion problems existing in redundant robot manipulators, it is of particular use in applying theoretical research based on the quadratic program for redundant robot manipulators in industrial situations. This book will be a valuable reference work for engineers, researchers, advanced undergraduate and graduate students in robotics fields. Yunong Zhang is a professor at The School of Information Science and Technology, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China; Zhijun Zhang is a research fellow working at the same institute.

Book Including a Non holonomic Constraint in the FSP  full Space Parameterization  Method for Mobile Manipulators  Motion Planning

Download or read book Including a Non holonomic Constraint in the FSP full Space Parameterization Method for Mobile Manipulators Motion Planning written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The efficient utilization of the motion capabilities of mobile manipulators, i.e. manipulators mounted on mobile platforms, requires the resolution of the kinematically redundant system formed by the addition of the degrees of freedom (d.o.f.) of the platform to those of the manipulator. At the velocity level, the linearized Jacobian equation for such a redundant system represents an underspecified system of algebraic equations, which can be subject to a set of constraints such as obstacles in the workspace and various limits on the joint motions. A method, which we named the FSP (Full Space Parameterization), has recently been developed to resolve such underspecified systems with constraints that may vary in time and in number during a single trajectory. The application of the method to motion planning problems with obstacle and joint limit avoidance was discussed in some of our previous work. In this paper, we present the treatment in the FSP of a non-holonomic constraint on the platform motion, and give corresponding analytical solutions for resolving the redundancy with a general optimization criterion. Comparative trajectories involving a 10 d.o.f. mobile manipulator testbed moving with and without a non-holonomic constraint for the platform motion, are presented to illustrate the use and efficiency of the FSP approach in motion planning problems for highly kinematically redundant and constrained systems.
