Abstract

For a smooth transition between consecutive paths, conventional robot controllers usually generate a transition trajectory by blending consecutive paths in a time coordinate. However, this has two inherent drawbacks: the shape of a transition path cannot be designed coherently and the speed during transition is uncontrollable. To overcome these problems, this paper provides a path-level, rather than trajectory-level, smooth transition method with the curvature bound between non-smoothly connected paths. The experiment results show that the resultant transition trajectory is more smoothly connected than the conventional methods and the curvature is closely limited to the desired bound within the guaranteed level ($0.02{\sim}1$).

연속적인 경로 사이를 부드러운 곡선으로 잇기 위해서 기존의 로봇 제어기들은 일반적으로 연속적인 경로를 시간 축에서 합성하는 방법을 사용해 왔다. 하지만 이런 방법은 다음과 같은 두 가지 단점을 내재하고 있다. 천이 경로의 형태가 연접하게 생성될 수 없다는 점과 천이하는 동안 속력을 제어할 수 없다는 점이 그것이다. 이러한 문제점들을 극복하기 위해서 본 논문은 매끄럽지 않게 연결된 두 경로들을 부드럽게 잇기 위해 곡률이 제한된 새로운 천이 궤적 생성 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 실험 결과는 기존의 방법들보다 천이 궤적이 더 부드럽게 생성되는 것을 보여주며, 또한 보장된 곡률의 제한 수준은 $0.02{\sim}1$임을 보여준다.
