    Abstract

    A mobile manipulator can perform tasks while moving in a large workspace. However, a combination of a mobile platform and a manipuator creates redundancy, which requires some form of redundancy control. Joint limit avoidance is a representative method of redundancy control. When the conventional method for joint limit avoidance is used, the joint velocity tends to increase rapidly near the joint limits, which may cause velocity divergence. In this study, the method for avoiding the joint limits of a mobile manipulator is proposed to prevent a rapid increase in velocity. A series of experiments show that the proposed method can effectively work in most cases.
