Optimal Trajectory Planning

Time optimal trajectory planning under various hard constraints plays a significant role in simultaneously meeting the requirements on high productivity and high accuracy in the fields of both machining tools and robotics. In this paper, the problem of time optimal trajectory planning is first formulated. A novel back and forward check algorithm is subsequently proposed to solve the minimum time feed-rate optimization problem. The basic idea of the algorithm is to search the feasible solution in the specified interval using the back or forward operations. Four lemmas are presented to illustrate the calculating procedure of optimal solution and the feasibility of the proposed algorithm. Both the elliptic curve and eight profile are used as case studies to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Optimal Trajectory Planning

Current studies on time-optimal trajectory planning centers on cases with fixed base and only one end-effector. However, the free-floating body and the multiple legs of the legged robot make the current methods inapplicable. This paper proposes a time-optimal trajectory planning method for six-legged robots. The model of the optimization problem for six-legged robots is built by considering the base and the end-effectors separately. Both the actuator constraints and the gait cycle constraints are taken into account. A novel two-step optimization method is proposed to solve the optimization problem. The first step solves the time-optimal trajectory of the body and the second step solves the time-optimal trajectory of the swinging legs. Finally, the method is applied to a six-parallel-legged robot and validated by experiments on the prototype. The results show that the velocity of the optimized gait is improved by 17.8% in contrast to the non-optimized one.
