This paper focuses on planning strategies for object interception, especially with minimum time. Herein, the goal is for robot to intercept object with minimum time on a conveyor line that flows to x-axis with respect to world coordinate system. In order to do it, conveyor system needs the algorithms for minimizing time. This objective is achieved by solving about two problems: selection of a minimum-time interception point and planning of an optimal robot trajectory. Herein, the first problem is formulated a minimization of the robot-object interception time.

Minimum-fuel and -time orbit transfer are two major goals of the satellite trajectory optimization. In this paper, we consider satellites in two coplanar elliptic orbits when the apsidal lines coincide, and analytically find the conditions for the two-impulse minimum-time transfer orbit using Lambert's theorem. The transfer time is a decreasing function of a variable related to the transfer orbit's semimajor axis in the minimum-time case. In the minimum-time case, there is no unique minimum-time solution, but there is a limiting solution. However, there exists a unique solution in the case of minimum-fuel transfer, fur which we find analytically the necessary and sufficient conditions. As a special case, we consider when the transfer angle is one hundred and eighty degrees. In this case, we show that we obtain the classical fuel-optimal Hohmann transfer orbit. We also derive the Hohmann transfer rime and delta-velocity equations from more general equations, which are obtained using Lambert's theorem. We note the tradeoff between minimum-time and - fuel transfer. An optimal coplanar orbit maneuver algorithm to trade off the minimum-time goal against the minimum-fuel goal is proposed. Finally, the numerical simulation results are given to demonstrate the derived theory and the algorithm.

In this paper, a minimum time path planning strategy is proposed for multi points manufacturing problems in drilling/spot welding tasks. By optimizing the travelling schedule of the set points and the detailed transfer path between points, the minimum time manufacturing task is realized under fully utilizing the dynamic performance of robotic manipulator. According to the start-stop movement in drilling/spot welding task, the path planning problem can be converted into a traveling salesman problem (TSP) and a series of point to point minimum time transfer path planning problems. Cubic Hermite interpolation polynomial is used to parameterize the transfer path and then the path parameters are optimized to obtain minimum point to point transfer time. A new TSP with minimum time index is constructed by using point-point transfer time as the TSP parameter. The classical genetic algorithm (GA) is applied to obtain the optimal travelling schedule. Several minimum time drilling tasks of a 3-DOF robotic manipulator are used as examples to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

This paper focuses on planning strategies for object interception by the robotic manipulator on a conveyor system in minimum time. The goal is that the robot is able to intercept object with minimum time on a conveyor line that moves at a given speed. The search algorithm for minimum time solution is given in detail for all possible cases for initial locations of robot. Simulations results show the validity of the given algorithm.

In this paper, Micro-Genetic algorithms(.mu.-GAs) is proposed on a minimum-time path planning for robot manipulator, which is a kind of optimization algorithm. The minimum-time path planning, which can allow the robot system to perform the demanded tasks with a minimum execution time, may be of consequence to improve the productivity. But most of the methods proposed till now suffers from a significant computation burden and can't often find the optimal values. One way to overcome such difficulties is to apply the Micro-Genetic Algorithms, which can allow to find the optimal values, to the minimum-time problem. This paper propose an approach for solving the minimum-time path planning by using Micro-Genetic Algorithms. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated using the 2 d.o.f plannar Robot manipulator.

We propose a minimum-time path planning soheme for the robot manipulator using Hopfield neural network. The minimum-time path planning, which can allow the robot system to perform the demanded tasks with a minimum execution time, may be of consequence to improve the productivity. But most of the methods proposed till now suffers from a significant computational burden and thus limits the on-line application. One way to avoid such a difficulty is to apply the neural network technique, which can allow the parallel computation, to the minimum-time problem. This paper propose an approach for solving the minimum-time path planning by using Hopfield neural network. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrarted using the PUMA 560 manipulator.

This paper suggests a numerical method to find optimal geometric path and minimum-time motion for a spatial 6-link manipulator arm (PUMA 560 type). To find a minimum-time motion, the optimal geometric paths minimizing 2 different dynamic performance indices are searched first, and the minimum-time motions are searched on these optimal paths. In the algorithm to find optimal geometric paths, the objective functions (performance indices) are selected to minimize joint velocities, actuator forces or the combinations of them as well as to avoid one static obstacle. In the minimum-time algorithm the traveling time is expressed by the power series including 21 terms. The coefficients of the series are obtained using nonlinear programming to minimize the total traveling time subject to the constraints of velocity-dependent actuator forces.

This paper suggests a numerical method of finding optimal geometric path and minimum-time motion for a manipulator arm. To find the minimum-time motion, the optimal geometric path is searched first, and the minimum-time motion is searched on this optimal path. In the algorithm finding optimal geometric path, the objective function is minimizing the combination of joint velocities, joint-jerks, and actuator forces as well as avoiding several static obstacles, where global search is performed by adjusting the seed points of the obstacle models. In the minimum-time algorithm, the traveling time is expressed by the linear combinations of finite-term quintic B-splines and the coefficients of the splines are obtained by nonlinear programming to minimize the total traveling time subject to the constraints of the velocity-dependent actuator forces. These two search algorithms are basically similar and their convergences are quite stable.

For an analysis of the performance of a computer system, the minimum cycle time method has been widely used. The minimum cycle time method is a mathematical technique with which we can find the minimum duration time needed to fire all the transitions at least once and coming back to the Initial marking in a timed net. A timed net is a modified version of a Petri net where a transition is associated with a delay time. In the real world, an event is associated with a probability of occurrence. However, a timed net is not equipped with any facility of specifying probability of event occurrence. Therefore, the minimum cycle time method applied on a timed net can easily overlook probabilities of occurrences of events and yield a wrong result. We are proposing 'Timed Net with Probabilities of Choices' where a transition can be associated with both delay time and a probability of occurrence. We also introduce an algorithm for minimum cycle time analysis on a 'Timed Net with Probabilities of Choices'. As an example of application, we are performing an analysis of the location based service system using 'Timed Net with Probabilities of Choices'.
