Abstract In this paper, we present a novel sampling-based motion planning method in various complex environments, especially with narrow passages. We use online the results of the planner in the ADD-RRT framework to identify the types of the local configuration space based on the principal component analysis (PCA). The identification result is then used to accelerate the expansion similar to RRV around obstacles and through narrow passages. We also propose a modified bridge test to identify the entrance of a narrow passage and boost samples inside it. We have compared our method with known motion planners in several scenarios through simulations. Our method shows the best performance across all the tested planners in the tested scenarios.

In this paper, a mobile robot named VicRoB with 6 degrees of freedom (DOFs) driven by three tracked vehicles is designed and analyzed. The robot employs a 3-PPSR parallel configuration. The scheme of the mechanism and the inverse kinematic solution are given. A path planning method of a single tracked vehicle and a coordinated motion planning of three tracked vehicles are proposed. The mechanical structure and the electrical architecture of VicRoB prototype are illustrated. VicRoB can achieve the point-to-point motion mode and the continuous motion mode with employing the motion planning method. The orientation precision of VicRoB is measured in a series of motion experiments, which verifies the feasibility of the motion planning method. This work provides a kinematic basis for the orientation closed loop control of VicRoB whether it works on flat or rough road.

During the exposure process of a step-and-scan lithography, the transitional time between continuous scans does not produce production efficiency in which no scanning occurs. To minimize the transitional time and therefore to improve the productivity we introduce the motion-overlap scheme, which inserts a step-move between the overrun phase and the phase before exposure of next field along the scanning direction for wafer stage during the continuous exposure process. The simulation results show that the motion-overlap scheme enables the total time of two continuous scans of four different exposure field sizes reduce 8.28%, 7.11%, 5.87% and 4.53%, respectively, compared with the conventional motion planning method. This indicates that the theoretical derivation of motion-overlap planning method is effective.
