The motion planning problem of a nonholonomic multibody system is investigated. Nonholonomicity arises in many mechanical systems subject to nonintegrable velocity constraints or nonintegrable conservation laws. When the total angular momentum is zero, the control problem of system can be converted to the motion planning problem for a driftless control system. In this paper, we propose an optimal control approach for nonholonomic motion planning. The genetic algorithm is used to optimize the performance of motion planning to connect the initial and final configurations and to generate a feasible trajectory for a nonholonomic system. The feasible trajectory and its control inputs are searched through a genetic algorithm. The effectiveness of the genetic algorithm is demonstrated by numerical simulation.

SUMMARYThis paper presents a new neural networks-based method to solve the motion planning problem, i.e. to construct a collision-free path for a moving object among fixed obstacles. Our ‘navigator’ basically consists of two neural networks: The first one is a modified feed-forward neural network, which is used to determine the configuration space; the moving object is modelled as a configuration point in the configuration space. The second neural network is a modified bidirectional associative memory, which is used to find a path for the configuration point through the configuration space while avoiding the configuration obstacles. The basic processing unit of the neural networks may be constructed using logic gates, including AND gates, OR gates, NOT gate and flip flops. Examples of efficient solutions to difficult motion planning problems using our proposed techniques are presented.
