Autonomous Block Assembly for Boom Cranes with Passive Joint Dynamics: Integrated Vision MPC Control
Gerald Ebmer, Minh Nhat Vu, Tobias Glück +1
This paper presents an autonomous control framework for articulated boom cranes performing prefabricated block assembly in construction environments. The key challenge addressed is…
Efficient Collision Detection for Long and Slender Robotic Links in Euclidean Distance Fields: Application to a Forestry Crane
Marc-Philip Ecker, Bernhard Bischof, Minh Nhat Vu +3
Collision-free motion planning in complex outdoor environments relies heavily on perceiving the surroundings through exteroceptive sensors. A widely used approach represents the en…
Near Time-Optimal Hybrid Motion Planning for Timber Cranes
Marc-Philip Ecker, Bernhard Bischof, Minh Nhat Vu +3
Efficient, collision-free motion planning is essential for automating large-scale manipulators like timber cranes. They come with unique challenges such as hydraulic actuation cons…
GPU-Accelerated Motion Planning of an Underactuated Forestry Crane in Cluttered Environments
Minh Nhat Vu, Gerald Ebmer, Alexander Watcher +3
Autonomous large-scale machine operations require fast, efficient, and collision-free motion planning while addressing unique challenges such as hydraulic actuation limits and unde…
