Abstract

As a consequence of physical constraints and of dynamical nonlinearities, optimal control problems involving mobile robots are generally difficult ones. Many algorithms have been developed to solve such problems, the more common being related to trajectory planning, minimum-time control or any specific performance index. Nevertheless optimal control problems associated to mobile robots have not been reported. Minimum energy problems subject to both equality and inequality constraints are generally intricate ones to be solved using classical methods. In this paper we present an algorithm to solve it using a Quadratic Programming approach. In order to illustrate the application of the algorithm, one practical problem was solved.
