Abstract

The authors present a straightforward method to handle collision avoidance among multiple robot manipulators. The method allows manipulators to move from a specified starting point to a goal without colliding with any other manipulators or objects in their 3D environment. Potential fields guide the end-effector through Cartesian space, and parallel genetic algorithms calculate suitable joint variables for the manipulator trajectory.
