A hybrid control architecture for mobile manipulation

摘要

We present a scheme for mobile manipulation by introducing a mobile manipulation control architecture (MMCA). This architecture is motivated by a need for a systematic control structure for robotic manipulation within a behavior based framework. The control structure enables integration of the manipulator into a behavior based control structure for the platform. Furthermore, our suggested MMCA is designed in such a way that it supports design and performance analysis from both a manipulator dynamics and a hybrid automata perspective.
