Abstract



This research presents an integrated trajectory planning strategy with a motion control approach using a Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) framework for Skid-Steer Mobile Robots (SSMRs) in agricultural scenarios. In a single architecture, the proposed NMPC strategy is aimed at trajectory tracking and involves real-time re-planning of pre-scheduled points in a given crop mapped against static and dynamic obstacles. A Real-Time Iteration (RTI) scheme was adopted to ensure feasibility in the optimization process, even when meeting tightened constraints. A set of potential field functions is formulated to minimize tracking errors and control effort while maximizing obstacle avoidance. The benefits of the proposed strategy regarding performance, constraint satisfaction, and computational were tested via simulations and field trials on an SSMR Husky A200. The results evidenced that prioritizing the robot position and obstacle speeds reduced the tracking error and input effort by 45.3% and 40.8% respectively, compared to the scenario prioritizing only obstacle positions. Thus, prioritizing the obstacle model further mitigates the collision risks in the agricultural field.

V. CONCLUSIONS This research proposed, implemented and validateda combined NMPC and trajectory planning strategy for guided motion control of SSMR subject to static and dynamic obstacles in agricultural environments.The underlying optimization problem for NMPC included feasible obstacle constraints and a set of logistic functions associated with potential field costs used to avoid obstacles in the robot’s workspace. The experimental results successfully achieved a reduction in the cumulative tracking error and input effort by 45.3% and 40.8%, respectively, when prioritizing robot position and obstacle speeds instead of considering only the obstacle positions. As obstacle regions may be uncertain, it would be required to fit them according to their dynamics and size with probable constraints, being this the ongoing research of the authors.
