Path Tracking with Obstacle Avoidance for Pseudo-Omnidirectional Mobile Robots Using Convex Optimization

Berntorp, Karl LU ; Olofsson, Björn LU and Robertsson, Anders LU (2014) American Control Conference, 2014 p.517-524
Abstract
We consider the problem of trajectory generation for time-optimal path tracking for the class of pseudo-omnidirectional mobile robots. An Euler-Lagrange model of the robot dynamics is derived, and by writing it on special form a convex reformulation of the path-tracking problem can be utilized. This enables the use and regeneration of time-optimal trajectories during runtime. The proposed approach also incorporates avoidance of moving obstacles, which are unknown a priori. Using sensor data, objects along the desired path are detected. Subsequently, a new path is planned and the corresponding time-optimal trajectory is found. The robustness of the method and its sensitivity to model errors are analyzed and discussed with extensive... (More)
