An Analysis Review: Optimal Trajectory for 6-DOF-based Intelligent Controller in Biomedical Application

With technological advancements and the development of robots have begun to be utilized in numerous sectors, including industrial, agricultural, and medical. Optimizing the path planning of robot manipulators is a fundamental aspect of robot research with promising future prospects. The precise robot manipulator tracks can enhance the efficacy of a variety of robot duties, such as workshop operations, crop harvesting, and medical procedures, among others. Trajectory planning for robot manipulators is one of the fundamental robot technologies, and manipulator trajectory accuracy can be enhanced by the design of their controllers. However, the majority of controllers devised up to this point were incapable of effectively resolving the nonlinearity and uncertainty issues of high-degree freedom manipulators in order to overcome these issues and enhance the track performance of high-degree freedom manipulators. Developing practical path-planning algorithms to efficiently complete robot functions in autonomous robotics is critical. In addition, designing a collision-free path in conjunction with the physical limitations of the robot is a very challenging challenge due to the complex environment surrounding the dynamics and kinetics of robots with different degrees of freedom (DoF) and/or multiple arms. The advantages and disadvantages of current robot motion planning methods, incompleteness, scalability, safety, stability, smoothness, accuracy, optimization, and efficiency are examined in this paper

Collision-free path coordination and cycle time optimization of industrial robot cells

In industry, short ramp-up times, product quality, product customization and high production rates are among the main drivers of technological progress. This is especially true for automotive manufacturers whose market is very competitive, constantly pushing for new solutions. In this industry, many of the processes are carried out by robots: for example, operations such as stud/spot welding, sealing, painting and inspection. Besides higher production rates, the improvement of these processes is important from a sustainability perspective, since an optimized equipment utilization may be achieved, in terms of resources used, including such things as robots, energy, and physical prototyping. The achievements of such goals may, nowadays, be reached also thanks to virtual methods, which make modeling, simulation and optimization of industrial processes possible. The work in this thesis may be positioned in this area and focuses on virtual product and production development for throughput improvement of robotics processes in the automotive industry. Specifically, the thesis presents methods, algorithms and tools to avoid collisions and minimize cycle time in multi-robot stations. It starts with an overview of the problem, providing insights into the relationship between the volumes shared by the robots\u27 workspaces and more abstract modeling spaces. It then describes a computational method for minimizing cycle time when robot paths are geometrically fixed and only velocity tuning is allowed to avoid collisions. Additional requirements are considered for running these solutions in industrial setups, specifically the time delays introduced when stopping robots to exchange information with a programmable logic controller (PLC). A post-processing step is suggested, with algorithms taking into account these practical constraints. When no communication at all with the PLC is highly desirable, a method of providing such programs is described to give completely separated robot workspaces. Finally, when this is not possible (in very cluttered environments and with densely distributed tasks, for example), robot routes are modified by changing the order of operations to avoid collisions between robots.In summary, by requiring fewer iterations between different planning stages, using automatic tools to optimize the process and by reducing physical prototyping, the research presented in this thesis (and the corresponding implementation in software platforms) will improve virtual product and production realization for robotic applications

A Hierarchal Planning Framework for AUV Mission Management in a Spatio-Temporal Varying Ocean

The purpose of this paper is to provide a hierarchical dynamic mission planning framework for a single autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) to accomplish task-assign process in a limited time interval while operating in an uncertain undersea environment, where spatio-temporal variability of the operating field is taken into account. To this end, a high level reactive mission planner and a low level motion planning system are constructed. The high level system is responsible for task priority assignment and guiding the vehicle toward a target of interest considering on-time termination of the mission. The lower layer is in charge of generating optimal trajectories based on sequence of tasks and dynamicity of operating terrain. The mission planner is able to reactively re-arrange the tasks based on mission/terrain updates while the low level planner is capable of coping unexpected changes of the terrain by correcting the old path and re-generating a new trajectory. As a result, the vehicle is able to undertake the maximum number of tasks with certain degree of maneuverability having situational awareness of the operating field. The computational engine of the mentioned framework is based on the biogeography based optimization (BBO) algorithm that is capable of providing efficient solutions. To evaluate the performance of the proposed framework, firstly, a realistic model of undersea environment is provided based on realistic map data, and then several scenarios, treated as real experiments, are designed through the simulation study. Additionally, to show the robustness and reliability of the framework, Monte-Carlo simulation is carried out and statistical analysis is performed. The results of simulations indicate the significant potential of the two-level hierarchical mission planning system in mission success and its applicability for real-time implementation
