In this paper, the problem of trajectory generation for mobile robots is investigated. The robot trajectory is generated so that smooth turns are guaranteed. Also the kinematic constraints of the actual robot are considered and incorporated in the trajectory generation.

This work presents a synchronized on-line trajectory generation algorithm for mechanical system with multiple degrees-of-freedom. Proposed algorithm is designed to generate time-optimized trajectories and synchronized trajectories under the constraints such as maximum speed, acceleration, deceleration, non-zero initial velocity, etc. Also, because of small computation time, therefore this can be applied in real-time and it is easier to change the trajectory when an event occurs. We verified the feasibility through various trajectory generation.

To force an aircraft to track the specified path, the generation of the smooth desired trajectory is essential. In this paper, the cubic spline function is used to generate the trajectory which passes through the specified intercept points. The simulation results show that the desired trajectory generated by the spline interpolation is very smooth and the aircraft tracks it with small position errors.

Most motion control systems consist of a desired trajectory generator, a motion controller such as a conventional PID controller, and a plant to be controlled. The desired trajectory generator as well as the motion controller is very important to achieve a good tracking performance. Especially, if the desired trajectory is generated actively utilizing the maximum velocity, acceleration, jerk and snap as given system specifications, the tracking performance would be better. For this, we make use of the properties of convolution operator in order to generate a smooth (S-curve) trajectory satisfying the system specifications. Also, the proposed trajectory generation method is extended to more general cases with arbitrary initial and terminal conditions. In addition, the suggested trajectory generator can be easily realized for real-time implementation. Finally, the effectiveness of the suggested method is shown through numerical simulations.

This article describes a simple method for generating the walking trajectory for the biped humanoid robot. The method used a simple inverted model instead of complex multi-mass model and a reasonable explanation for the model simplification is included. The problem of gait trajectory generation is to find the solution from the desired ZMP trajectory to CoG trajectory. This article presents the analytic solution for the bipedal gait generation on the bases of ZMP trajectory. The presented ZMP trajectory has Fourier series form, which has finite or infinite summation of sine and cosine functions, and ZMP trajectory can be designed by calculating the coefficients. From the designed ZMP trajectory, this article focuses on how to find the CoG trajectory with analytical way from the simplified inverted pendulum model. Time segmentation based approach is adopted for generating the trajectories. The coefficients of the function should be designed to be continuous between the segments, and the solution is found by calculating the coefficients with this connectivity conditions. This article also has the proof and the condition of solution existence.

Trajectory generation is important because it determines the walking stability, continuity, and performance of a body in motion. Generally, the Linear Inverted Pendulum Mode is used for trajectory generation; however, for the sake of simplicity, the trajectory in this mode does not allow vertical motions and pitching motions of the body. This paper proposes a new trajectory generation method called Extended Linear Inverted Pendulum Mode (ELIPM) that allows vertical motion as well as pitching motion. This method can also improve the performance of locomotion by controlling the stride and locomotion frequency of a body.

This paper describes a three-dimensional reference trajectory generation method for giving commands to an unmanned air vehicle (UAV). The trajectory is a set of consecutive curves with constant acceleration during each interval and passing through via-points at specified times or speeds. The functional inputs are three-dimensional positions and times (or speeds) at via-points, and velocities at both boundaries. Its output is the time series of position values satisfying the piecewise constant acceleration condition. To be specific, the shape of the trajectory, known as the path, is first represented by splines using third degree polynomials. A numeric algorithm is then suggested, which can overcome the demerits of cubic spline method and promptly generate a piecewise constant acceleration trajectory from the given path. To show the effectiveness of the present scheme, trajectory generation cases were treated, and their speed calculation errors were evaluated.

We propose time-optimal cornering motion trajectory planning and control algorithms for differential wheeled mobile robot with motor actuating voltage constraint, under piecewise constant control input condition. For time-optimal cornering trajectory generation, 1) we considered mobile robot's dynamics including actuator motors, 2) divided the cornering trajectory into one liner section, followed by two cornering section with angular acceleration and deceleration, and finally one liner section, and 3) formulated an efficient trajectory generation algorithm satisfying the bang-bang control principle. Also we proposed an efficient trajectory control algorithm and implemented with an X-bot to prove the performance.

Human-like biped robot is a representative multi-links manipulator and undoubted redundancy system. However many researchers separate biped robot into each limb and analyze the members individually for the convenience analysis. This approach is not desirable for natural trajectory generation and energy optimization. This paper proposes the analysis method considering both legs together and the weighted pseudoinverse optimizing energy consumption.

This paper presents a path planning algorithm of an autonomous vehicle (ADAM III) for collision avoidance in the presence of multiple obstacles. Under the requirements that a low-cost GPS is used and its computation should be completed with a sampling time of sub-second, heading angle estimation is proposed to improve performance degradation of its measurement and a hierarchical structure for path planning is used. Once it is decided that obstacle avoidance is necessary, the path planning consists in three steps: waypoint generation, trajectory candidate generation, and trajectory selection. While the waypoints and the corresponding trajectory candidates are generated based on position of obstacles, the final desired trajectory is determined with considerations of kinematic constraints as well as an optimal condition in a term of lateral deviation. Finally the proposed algorithm was validated experimentally through field tests and its demonstration was performed in Autonomous Vehicle Competition (AVC) 2013.
