In this paper, a variational point-obstacle avoidance problem on complete Riemannian manifolds is studied, which consists of minimizing an energy functional depending on the velocity, covariant acceleration and a repulsive potential function used to avoid an static obstacle.
Abstract
In this paper, we study variational point-obstacle avoidance problems on complete Riemannian manifolds The problem consists of minimizing an energy functional depending on the velocity, covariant acceleration and a repulsive potential function used to avoid an static obstacle given by a point in the manifold, among a set of admissible curves We derive the dynamical equations for stationary paths of the variational problem, in particular on compact connected Lie groups and Riemannian symmetric spaces Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the proposed method

Real-time obstacle avoidance for manipulators and mobile robots

TL;DR: This paper reformulated the manipulator con trol problem as direct control of manipulator motion in operational space—the space in which the task is originally described—rather than as control of the task's corresponding joint space motion obtained only after geometric and geometric transformation.

Nonholonomic mechanics and control

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose energy-based methods for stabilizing nonholonomic systems using non-holonomic control theory based on geometric properties of the system's properties. But they do not discuss the energy-independent methods of stabilisation.

Geometric control of mechanical systems

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive set of modeling, analysis and design techniques for a class of simple mechanical control systems is presented, that is, systems whose Lagrangian is kinetic energy minus potential energy.
