Abstract

The problem of adaptive trajectory planning for robots under stochastic uncertainty is considered, where new information about the robots and their environment is presented on-line. Solving the problem numerically by means of spline approximation and by applying the method of neural networks, the optimal control can be calculated in real-time. Some numerical results are presented.
