The paper deals with the generation of smooth paths for the inversion-based motion control of wheeled mobile robots. A new path primitive, called eta3-spline, is proposed. It is a seventh order polynomial spline which permits the interpolation of an arbitrary sequence of points with associated arbitrary tangent directions, curvatures, and curvature derivatives, so that an overall G3-path is planned. A G3-path or path with third order geometric continuity has continuous tangent vector, curvature… CONTINUE READING
