Abstract

We propose a practical approach which allow a tractor-trailer robot to plan and navigates a path considering its shape and its kinematics constraint, however, without generating the configuration space for a sized robot. The operator can choose his preference of forward or backward paths by motion cost assignments. The path is generated in three stages: (1) road map analysis, (2) robot's states and transitions states generation, and (3) path search and motions generations. The planner has been tested on a tractor-trailer robot using different trailer sizes, demonstrating its ability for automatic generation of path which may include even backward motions.
