Abstract:A GA based method is proposed to obtain the optimal capture points for constraining a moving prismatic 2D object using multi agents. Frictionless point contact at the robot and object interface is assumed and form closure is obtained using accessibility angle. An objective function is optimized that minimizes the contact forces and the number of robots required for form closure. The robots first avoid obstacles and converge on the C-space surrounding the object. After the object is captured the mobile robots r… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
