Robust Optimal Trajectory Planning for Robots by Stochastic Optimization

From MaRDI portal





In the optimal control of industrial, field, and service robots, increasing measurement and control actions are needed during the process of determining a reference trajectory and a feedforward control, due to the stochastic variations of the model parameters. In order to maintain a high quality of the guiding functions, the reference trajectory and the feedforward control can be updated at some later points in time such that additional information about the control process is available. The main purpose of the present paper is to propose an adaptive optimal stochastic trajectory planning (AOSTP) procedure based on stochastic optimization methods, and to investigate several numerical techniques for the computation of robust reference trajectories and feedforward controls, under real-time conditions. Based on the tests with the Manutec r3 industrial robot, two numerical examples illustrate the AOSTP technique. The first example demonstrates real-time solutions of OSTP using a sensitivity analysis of a precalculated reference trajectory. The second example shows the differences between reference trajectories calculated by deterministic methods on the one hand and by the proposed stochastic methods on the other hand. The numerical simulations of the robot behaviour prove increased robustness of the considered stochastic reference trajectories.
