Item Fast Real-Time Trajectory Planning Method with 3rd-Order Curve Optimization for Automated Vehicles(IEEE, 2020-09-20) Lattarulo, Ray; Perez, Joshue; CCAMAutomated driving (AD) is one of the fastest-growing tendencies in the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) field with some interesting demonstrations and prototypes. Currently, the main research topics are aligned with vehicle communications, environment recognition, control, and decision-making. A real-time trajectory planning method for Automated vehicles (AVs) is presented in this paper; the contribution is part of AD’s decision-making module. This novel approach uses the properties of the 3er order Bézier curves to generate fast and reliable vehicle trajectories. Online execution and vehicle tracking capacities are considered on the approach. A feasible trajectory is selected based on the criteria: (i) the vehicle must be contained by a collision-free corridor given by an upper decision layer, (ii) the vehicle must be capable to track the generated trajectory, and (iii) the continuity of the path and curvature must be preserved in the joints. Our approach was tested considering a vehicle length (automated bus) of 12 meters. The scenario has the dimension of a real test location with multiple roundabouts.Item Modeling and vision-based control of large-dimension cable-driven parallel robots using a multiple-camera setup(2019-08) Dallej, Tej; Gouttefarde, Marc; Andreff, Nicolas; Hervé, Pierre Elie; Martinet, Philippe; ROBOTICA_AUTOMAThis paper deals with the modeling and vision-based control of large-dimension cable-driven parallel robots. Inverse kinematics and instantaneous inverse kinematics models are derived from the elastic catenary cable modeling. These models turn out to be dependent on the pose of the mobile platform (end-effector), on the cable tangent directions and on the cable tensions. In order to control the motion of the robot, a position-based visual servo control is used, where the mobile platform pose is measured by vision and used for regulation. A multi-camera setup and load cells provide the aforementioned desired measurements, i.e., the mobile platform pose, the directions of the tangents to the cables, and the cable tensions. The proposed approach was validated in experiments on the large-dimension cable-driven parallel robot prototype CoGiRo of global dimensions 15 m × 11 m × 6 m (L × l × h). A maximum error of less than 1 cm in position and 0.5∘ in orientation was achieved. Moreover, in the case of cable-driven parallel robots larger than the prototype CoGiRo, simulations were conducted in order to assess the influence on the vision-based control of four instantaneous inverse kinematics models.
