We consider trajectory planning for kinematically redundant manipulators used on forestry machines. The analysis of recorded data from human operation reveals that the driver does not use the full potential of the machine due to the complexity of the manipulation task. We suggest an optimization procedure that takes advantage of the kinematic redundancy so that time-efficient joint and velocity profiles...
In this paper we consider the problem of motion planning and control of a kinematically redundant manipulator, which is used on forestry machines for logging. Once a desired path is specified in the 3D world frame, a trajectory can be planned and executed such that all joints are synchronized and constrained to the Cartesian path.We introduce an optimization procedure that takes advantage of the kinematic...
In the field of robotics the energy spent for actuation is always an issue. It is often the case that some desired motions cannot be achieved by the robot due to limitations in actuation power. We suggest a simple solution to the problem: complement the actuators by some configuration of mechanical springs which delivers a torque profile that is well-tuned for the desired robot motion. As a result,...
