Real-time and efficient path planning is critical for all robotic systems. In particular, it is of greater importance for industrial robots since the overall planning and execution time directly impact the cycle time and automation economics in production lines. While the problem may not be complex in static environments, classical approaches are i...

... generate a high-quality dataset, post-processing is applied to the paths generated by the expert planner. As shown in Figure 4, the expert planner generates a collision-free path for a random query. Followed by that, the Binary State Contraction (BSC) is utilized to remove redundant and unnecessary waypoints, resulting in a shorter overall path. ...

... that case, p true in Eq. 5 becomes either 0 (collision-free segment) or 1 (in-collision segment). In Figure 4 this approach has been named as L binary . The binary cross-entropy loss function measures the ...

This article develops a new gravity-balanced mechanism by using a compression spring in combination with a tension spring. The static equilibrium principle is employed to calculate the relationship between the stiffness of two springs. Then, this article employs a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) to determine the optimal values for both spr...
