Abstract: |
Currently, the software integration of mobile manipulators with whole-body control for a new application poses a significant challenge due to several issues for which no robust standard solutions exist.
Generally, separate solutions for synchronized control of platform and manipulator, redundancy resolution, sensor integration and obstacle avoidance as well as application logic, need to be set up and integrated manually before a mobile manipulator can be used with whole-body control.
My research goal is to simplify the process by providing a framework that can easily adapt existing skills to new robot systems and be used to customize robot behavior to the specific application needs.
The main issues considered are the synchronized control of platform and manipulator, the implementation of basic motion types and the encapsulation of high-level skills. |
