Obstacle Avoidance for Spatial Hyper-Redundant Manipulators Using Harmonic Potential Functions and the Mode Shape Technique.

This paper deals with the obstacle avoidance problem for spatial hyper-redundant manipulators in known environments. The manipulator is divided into two sections, a proximal section that has not entered the space among the obstacles and a distal section among the obstacles. Harmonic potential functi...
