Optimal Trajectory Planning

Abstract In this study, recursive Newton-Euler sensitivity equations are derived for robot manipulator motion planning problems. The dynamics and sensitivity equations depend on the 3 × 3 rotation matrices based on the moving coordinates. Compared to recursive Lagrangian formulation, which depends on 4 × 4 Denavit-Hartenberg (DH) transformation matrices, the moving coordinate formulation increases computational efficiency significantly as the number of matrix multiplications required for each optimization iteration is greatly reduced. A two-link manipulator time-optimal trajectory planning problem is solved using the proposed recursive Newton-Euler dynamics formulation. Only revolute joint is considered in the formulation. The predicted joint torque and trajectory are verified with the data in the literature. In addition, the optimal joint forces are retrieved from the optimization using recursive Newton-Euler dynamics.

This paper presents first steps of the solution of time optimal motion of amputees wearing leg prosthesis. To start with, a simplified model is considered. It is assumed that the motion takes place in sagittal plane and the torque limits are independent of joint angles. Moreover the motion is assumed to satisfy zero-moment point stability criterion, nonslip condition and some kinematic constraints of natural walking, in addition to the constraint of internal link wrench limits at the leg prosthesis connection. The problem is formulated as a time-optimal path planning problem with the consideration of equation of motion, stability and non-slip inequality relations, joint torque limits and internal-link wrench limits. The results of this study can shed some light on the problem of walking with prosthesis in order to improve speed and quality of walking of amputees.

Load Carrying

A new methodology using a direct method for obtaining the best found trajectory planning and maximum dynamic load-carrying capacity (DLCC) is presented for a 5-degree of freedom (DOF) hybrid robot manipulator. A nonlinear constrained multiobjective optimization problem is formulated with four objective functions, namely, travel time, total energy involved in the motion, joint jerks, and joint acceleration. The vector of decision variables is defined by the sequence of the time-interval lengths associated with each two consecutive via-points on the desired trajectory of the 5-DOF robot generalized coordinates. Then this vector of decision variables is computed in order to minimize the cost function (which is the weighted sum of these four objective functions) subject to constraints on joint positions, velocities, acceleration, jerks, forces/torques, and payload mass. Two separate approaches are proposed to deal with the trajectory planning problem and the maximum DLCC calculation for the 5-DOF robot manipulator using an evolutionary optimization technique. The adopted evolutionary algorithm is the elitist nondominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II). A numerical application is performed for obtaining best found solutions of trajectory planning and maximum DLCC calculation for the 5-DOF hybrid robot manipulator.

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.

Minimization Scheme

SUMMARYIn this paper, a pseudoinverse-type bi-criteria minimization scheme is proposed and investigated for the redundancy resolution of robot manipulators at the joint-acceleration level. Such a bi-criteria minimization scheme combines the weighted minimum acceleration norm solution and the minimum velocity norm solution via a weighting factor. The resultant bi-criteria minimization scheme, formulated as the pseudoinverse-type solution, not only avoids the high joint-velocity and joint-acceleration phenomena but also causes the joint velocity to be near zero at the end of motion. Computer simulation results based on a 4-Degree-of-Freedom planar robot manipulator comprising revolute joints further verify the efficacy and flexibility of the proposed bi-criteria minimization scheme on robotic redundancy resolution.

Relative Transformation

In analyzing robot manipulator kinematics, we need to describe relative movement of adjacent linkages or joints in order to obtain the pose of end effector (both position and orientation) in reference coordinate frame. Denavit-Hartenberg established a method based on a 4×4 homogenous matrix so called “A” matrix. This method used by most of the authors for kinematics and dynamic analysis of the robot manipulators. Although it has many advantages, however, finding the elements of this matrix and link/joint’s parameters is sometimes complicated and confusing. By considering these difficulties, the authors proposed a new approach called ‘convenient approach’ that is developed based on “Relative Transformations Principle”. It provides a very simple and convenient way for the solution of robot kinematics compared to the conventional D-H representation. In order to clarify this point, the kinematics of the world known Stanford manipulator has been solved through D-H representation as well as convenient approach and the results are compared.
