Trajectory planning and tracking are crucial tasks in any application using robot manipulators. These tasks become particularly difficult when obstacles are present in the manipulatorpsilas workspace. In this paper it is assumed that the obstacles can be approximated in a conservative way with discs. The goal is to represent the obstacles in the robot configuration space, in order to allow an efficient and accurate trajectory planning and tracking. Moreover, the paper provides the methods for checking the collision between the n-joint manipulator and the obstacles. Trajectory planning depends on tracking accuracy. In this paper an adequate tracking accuracy is guaranteed assuming the use of a suitably designed robust controller.

Abstract
Trajectory planning and tracking are crucial tasks in any application using robot manipulators. These tasks become particularly difficult when obstacles are present in the manipulatorpsilas workspace. In this paper it is assumed that the obstacles can be approximated in a conservative way with discs. The goal is to represent the obstacles in the robot configuration space, in order to allow an efficient and accurate trajectory planning and tracking. Moreover, the paper provides the methods for checking the collision between the n-joint manipulator and the obstacles. Trajectory planning depends on tracking accuracy. In this paper an adequate tracking accuracy is guaranteed assuming the use of a suitably designed robust controller.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
