Optimal Trajectory Planning For Design of a Crawling Gait in a Robot Using Genetic Algorithm

This paper describes a new locomotion mode to use in a crawling robot, inspired of real inchworm. The crawling device is modelled as a mobile manipulator, and for each step of its motion, the associated dynamics relations are derived using Euler-Lagrange equations. Next, the Genetic Algorithm (GA) i...
