This paper presents the software tool used at Institute of Industrial and Control Engineering (IOC-UPC) for teaching research in robot motion planning. The allows to cope with problems one or more robots, being a generic defined as kinematic tree mobile base, i.e. can plan simulate from simple two degrees freedom free-flying robots multi-robot scenarios manipulators equipped anthropomorphic hands. main core planners is provided by Open Motion Planning Library (OMPL). Different basic be...

This paper presents a planning procedure that allows an anthropomorphic dual-arm robotic system to perform manipulation task in natural human-like way by using demonstrated human movements. The key idea of the proposal is convert trajectories into attractive potential fields defined over configuration space and then use RRT*-based algorithm minimizes path-cost function designed bias tree growth toward human-demonstrated configurations. description proposed approach as well results from...

The paper deals with the problem of planning movements dual-arm anthropomorphic systems, aim reducing computational cost and making look as human-like possible. key idea proposal is search synergies system in order to use them reduce dimension space while preserving appearance. This was already developed successfully used plan robotic hands, thus extension a attractive. presents description proposed approach well real experimental results that encourage doing further research this line.

This paper proposes a novel motion planning approach that exploits the concept of synergies (correlations) between degrees freedom, extending it to velocity space and calling them first-order synergies. An automatic partition method is defined optimally divide configuration into cells where are significantly different. Using this partition, an algorithm tends grow tree by branches in directions determined cell leaf be grown lies introduced called FOS-RRT. allows natural expansion along data...

The challenge in combined task and motion planning (TAMP) is the effective integration of a search over combinatorial space, usually carried out by planner, continuous configuration planner. Using planners for testing feasibility plans filling details not because it makes geometrical constraints play passive role. This work introduces new interleaved approach integrating two dimensions TAMP that use sketches, recent simple but powerful language expressing decomposition problems into...

The paper deals with the problem of designing an RRT*-based planning algorithm that allows user to guide tree growth in a simple and transparent way. key idea proposal is create algorithm, called HG-RRT*, minimizes optimization function over configuration space where state cost established. This defined as combination several potential fields. Each these fields will attract solution path or move it away from certain areas. try minimize length, motion effort variations along path. presents...

This paper addresses the problem of obtaining required motions for a humanoid robot to perform grasp actions trying mimic coordinated hand–arm movements humans do. The first step is data acquisition and analysis, which consists in capturing human while grasping several everyday objects (covering four possible types), mapping them computing hand motion synergies pre-grasp phases (per type). Then, synthesis done, generating potential grasps given object using family types, planning...

We consider the problem of optimal charging heterogeneous plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs).We approach as a multi-agent game in presence constraints and formulate an auxiliary minimization program whose solution is shown to be unique Nash equilibrium PEV control game, for any finite number possibly agents.Assuming that parameters defining each vehicle are drawn randomly from given distribution, we show that, agents tends infinity, value achieved by social optimum cooperative counterpart...
