A Reactive Path Planning Approach for a Four-wheel Robot by the Decomposition Coordination Method

摘要

In this paper, we discuss the problem of safe navigation by solving a non-linear model for a four-wheel robot while avoiding the upcoming obstacles that may cross its path using the Decomposition Coordination Method (DC). The method consists of first, choosing a non-linear system with the associated objective functions to optimize. Then we carry on the resolution of the model using the Decomposition Coordination Method, which allows the non-linearity of the model to be handled locally and ensures coordination through the use of the Lagrange multipliers. An obstacle-avoidance algorithm is presented thus offering a collision-free solution. A numerical application is given to concert the efficiency of the method employed herein along with the simulation results.
