X Abstract

This paper presents an new, proximate-optimal solution to the path-constrained time-parameterization problem. This new algorithm has three distinguishing features: First, the run-time worst-case complexity of the proximate time-optimal algorithm is linear with respect to path-length and it is shown to be more efficient than any other truly time-optimal algorithm. Second, for a given robotic system, the algorithm's running-time is predictable as a function of the length of the path (allowing its use in combination with time-aware planners). Third, the algorithm easily supports the modification of on-going trajectories. The algorithm has been extensively tested and is operational in a number of robotic systems including a dual-arm workcell, an underwater robotic system, and the Marsokhod Rover vehicle. Experimental results presented illustrate the online use of the algorithm with a path planner to allow capture and delivery of objects from a moving conveyor belt

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
