Constrained reachability problems for a planar manipulator

preprint2021arXivOpen access

Abstract

We address an optimal reachability problem for a planar manipulator in a constrained environment. After introducing the optmization problem in full generality, we practically embed the geometry of the workspace in the problem, by considering some classes of obstacles. To this end, we present an analytical approximation of the distance function from the ellipse. We then apply our method to particular models of hyper-redundant and soft manipulators, by also presenting some numerical experiments.
