  • Patent number: 8700190
    Abstract: A method generates trajectories for motor controlled actuators subject to dynamics, acceleration and velocity constraints. The method solves a constrained optimal control problem with dynamics, acceleration, and velocity constraints. The motor control problem is formulated as an optimal control problem using an energy cost function which is based on numerical optimization results. A solution to the two-point boundary value problem (TBVP) for the unconstrained case of the optimal control problem is obtained. The energy efficient motor control trajectory generation solver is designed for real time energy efficient trajectory generation. The solver converts a difficult multi-point boundary value problem (MBVP) associated with the state and acceleration constrained optimal control problem into an iterative solution for the TBVPs with updated boundary conditions.

  • Patent number: 8700307
    Abstract: A method optimizes a trajectory for a motion of a manipulator avoiding at least one obstacle. The method determines a cost function representing the motion of the manipulator from an initial position to a final position, wherein an optimization of the cost function is subject to spatial non-convex constraints due to avoidance of a region of the obstacle located between the initial position and the final position; and selects a set of locations on the trajectory representing positions of the manipulator at different times. Next, for each location in the set of locations, at least one linear convex constraint defining an interval of values for a projection of a position of the location on an axis of a direction of the motion of the manipulator is determined to produce a set of linear convex constraints and the cost function is optimized subject to the set of linear convex constraints.

  • Patent number: 7382567
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention employ differential acceleration computations for detecting free fall conditions. The differential acceleration computations can be based on two-axis or three-axis acceleration measurements, and therefore can be implemented using a two-axis accelerometer or a three-axis accelerometer (or combinations of accelerometers that enable acceleration measurements in two or three axes). When a free fall condition is detected, an appropriate signal can be generated, for example, to place a HDD in a protected state before damage is likely to occur. Differential acceleration measurements can also be used to detect a “safe” condition following a free fall condition.
