Book Obstacle Avoidance In Multi robot Systems  Experiments In Parallel Genetic Algorithms

Download or read book Obstacle Avoidance In Multi robot Systems Experiments In Parallel Genetic Algorithms written by Mark A C Gill and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1998-06-17 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obstacle Avoidance in Multi-robot Systems: Experiments in Parallel Genetic Algorithms offers a novel framework for solving the path planning problem for robot manipulators. Simple and efficient solutions are proposed for the path planning problem based on genetic algorithms. One of the attractive features of genetic algorithms is their ability to solve formidable problems in a robust and straightforward manner. Moreover, genetic algorithms are inherently parallel in nature, which makes them ideal candidates for parallel computing implementations.By combining the robustness of genetic algorithms with the power of parallel computers, this book provides an effective and practical approach to solving path planning problems. The book gives details of implementations that allow a better understanding of the complexities involved in the development of parallel path planning algorithms. The material presented is interdisciplinary in nature — it combines topics from robotics, genetic algorithms, and parallel processing. The book can be used by practitioners and researchers in computer science and engineering.

  • ISBN : 1461389976
  • Pages : 478 pages

Download or read book Autonomous Robot Vehicles written by Ingemar J. Cox and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autonomous robot vehicles are vehicles capable of intelligent motion and action without requiring either a guide or teleoperator control. The recent surge of interest in this subject will grow even grow further as their potential applications increase. Autonomous vehicles are currently being studied for use as reconnaissance/exploratory vehicles for planetary exploration, undersea, land and air environments, remote repair and maintenance, material handling systems for offices and factories, and even intelligent wheelchairs for the disabled. This reference is the first to deal directly with the unique and fundamental problems and recent progress associated with autonomous vehicles. The editors have assembled and combined significant material from a multitude of sources, and, in effect, now conviniently provide a coherent organization to a previously scattered and ill-defined field.

Book Optimized Motion Planning

Download or read book Optimized Motion Planning written by Cherif Ahrikencheikh and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1994-10-14 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first handbook to the practical specifics of motion planning, Optimized-Motion Planning offers design engineers methods and insights for solving real motion planning problems in a 3-dimensional space. Complete with a disk of software programs, this unique guide allows users to design, test, and implement possible solutions, useful in a host of contexts, especially tool path planning. Beginning with a brief overview of the general class of problems examined within the book as well as available solution techniques, Part 1 familiarizes the reader with the conceptual threads that underlie each approach. This early discussion also considers the specific applications of each technique as well as its computational efficiency. Part 2 illustrates basic problem-solving methodology by considering the case of a point moving between stationary polygons in a plane. This section features algorithms for data organization and storage, the concepts of passage networks and feasibility charts, as well as the path optimization algorithm. Elaborating on the problematic model described in Part 2, Part 3 develops an algorithm for optimizing the motion of a point between stationary polyhedra in a 3-dimensional space. This algorithm is first applied to the case of nonpoint objects moving between obstacles that can be stationary or moving with known patterns. It's then used in connection with the extensively investigated problem of motion planning for multilink manipulators.

Book Optimal Path and Trajectory Planning for Serial Robots

Download or read book Optimal Path and Trajectory Planning for Serial Robots written by Alexander Reiter and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-06 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander Reiter describes optimal path and trajectory planning for serial robots in general, and rigorously treats the challenging application of path tracking for kinematically redundant manipulators therein in particular. This is facilitated by resolving both the path tracking task and the optimal inverse kinematics problem simultaneously. Furthermore, the author presents methods for fast computation of approximate optimal solutions to planning problems with changing parameters. With an optimal solution to a nominal problem, an iterative process based on parametric sensitivities is applied to rapidly obtain an approximate solution. About the Author: Dr. Alexander Reiter is a senior scientist at the Institute of Robotics of the Johannes Kepler University (JKU) Linz, Austria. His major fields of research are kinematics, dynamics, and trajectory planning for kinematically redundant serial robots as well as real-time methods for solving parametric non-linear programming problems.

Book Geometric based Spatial Path Planning

Download or read book Geometric based Spatial Path Planning written by Peter Setterlund March and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cartesian space path planning involves generating the position and orientation trajectories for a manipulator end-effector. Currently, much of the literature in motion planning for robotics concentrates on topics such as obstacle avoidance, dynamic optimizations, or high-level task planning. The focus of this research is on operator-generated motions. This will involve analytically studying the effects of higher-order properties (such as curvature and torsion) on the shape of spatial Cartesian curves. A particular emphasis will be placed on developing physical meanings and graphical visualization for these properties to aid the operator in generating geometrically complex motions. This research begins with a brief introduction to the domain of robotics and manipulator motion planning. An overview of work in the area of manipulator motion planning will demonstrate a lack of research on generating geometrically complex spatial paths. To pursue this goal, this report will then provide a review of the theory of algrebraic curves and their higher-order properties. This involves an evaluation of several different representations for both planar and spatial curves. Then, a survey of interactive curve generation techniques will be performed, which will draw from fields outside of robotics such as Computer Graphics and Computer-Aided Design (CAD). In addition to the reviewed methods, a new method for describing and generating spatial curves is proposed and demonstrated. This method begins with the study of a finite set of local geometric motion shapes (circular arcs, cusps, helices, etc). The local geometric shapes are studied in terms of their geometric parameters (curvature and torsion), analyzed to give physical meaning to these parameters, and displayed graphically as a family of curves based on these controlling parameters. This leads to the development of path constraints with well-defined physical meaning. Then, a curve generation method is developed that can convert these geometric constraints into parametric constraints and blend between them to form a complete motion program (cycle) of smooth paths connecting several carefully developed local curve properties. Up to ten distinct local curve shapes were developed in detail and one curve cycle demonstrated how all this could be combined into a full path planning scenario. Finally, the developed methods are packaged together into existing software and applied to an example demonstration.
