Abstract:The design of the mobile robot path is important when obstacles are present in the environment. In the present study, the theory of optimal control for path design and obstacle avoidance via simultaneous minimization of the time and kinetic energy is proposed. Nonlinear equations of robot motion without simplification are considered in optimum control problems, and in order to prevent collisions, the potential functions are utilized. In the next phase, the cost function is proposed that includes velocity input… 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.
