A method of planning sub-optimal trajectory for a mobile manipulator working in the environment including obstacles is presented. The path of the end-effector is defined as a curve that can be parameterized by any scaling parameter, the reference trajectory of a mobile platform is not needed. Constraints connected with the existence of mechanical limits for a given manipulator configuration, collision avoidance conditions and control constraints are considered. The motion of the mobile manipulator is planned in order to maximize the manipulability measure, thus to avoid manipulator singularities. The method is based on a penalty function approach and a redundancy resolution at the acceleration level. A computer example involving a mobile manipulator consisting of a nonholonomic platform and a SCARA type holonomic manipulator operating in a two-dimensional task space is also presented.

This paper addresses the problem of position regulation at the control feed back level of a mobile manipulator. The task is subject to state equality and/or inequality constraints. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, a class of asymptotically stable controllers fulfilling the above constraints and generating a singularity and collision free mobile manipulator trajectory, is proposed. The problem of singularity and collision avoidance enforcement is solved here based on an exterior penalty function approach which results in continuous and bounded mobile manipulator controls even near boundaries of obstacles. The numerical simulation results carried out for a mobile manipulator consisting of a nonholonomic unicycle and a holonomic manipulator of two revolute kinematic pairs, operating both in a two-dimensional unconstrained task space and task space including the obstacles, illustrate the performance of the proposed controllers.
