Abstract
This paper presents a new fault tolerant control algorithm for the generation of a robot motion trajectory in an environment with obstacles, when one or two robot axes fail. The proposed method allows the robot to be controlled with obstacle avoidance in the event of axis failure at any time during the motion. An additional requirement for the algorithm was to determine, from among the generated steps that could be executed at a given point, the shortest path of the robot to the final position. However, due to the limitations of the GA used in the learning process, the total robot path was not the globally shortest. The algorithm works step by step. It uses a model of the robot working in the environment with obstacles and the reward function, defined in this article, to select the best possible robot move for each step. Two parameters are applied in this function, which values are generated using a genetic algorithm. At first, the proposed control method has been tested in the simulation using six arm robot model. The results are validated on a real Mitsubishi robot.
