A Control Method of Mobile Manipulator Based on Null-Space Task Planning and Hybrid Control

The mobile manipulator is a floating base structure with wide space operability. An integrated mechanical device for mobile operation is formed through the organic combination of the mobile platform and multi-axis manipulator. This paper presents a general kinematic modeling method for mobile manipulators and gives the relevant derivation of the dynamic model. Secondly, the null-space composition of the mobile manipulator is analyzed, the task space is divided, and a variety of task-switching criteria are designed. Finally, a hybrid control model combining dynamic feedback and synovial control based on dynamic parameter identification is designed, and stability proof is given. The theoretical method is also verified by the experimental platform. The proposed method can effectively improve the control accuracy of the mobile manipulator, and the hybrid control method can effectively control the output torque to reach the ideal state.
