Abstract

Generally, a manipulator task can be divided into several motion primitives called “skills.” Skill-based motion planning is an effective way to execute a complicated task. When planning an assembly process, a technique of fine motion planning such as the backprojection method in configuration space is often used. This paper describes fine motion planning using a skill library, which consists of a pattern of trajectories of skill motions in configuration space. This method gives the initial position and orientation from which the object can reach the goal in skill-based manipulation.
