Motion and trajectory planning modeling for mobile landing mechanism systems based on improved genetic algorithm.

In many traditional soft-landing missions, researchers design the lander and the rover as two separate individuals, which has its limitations. At present, research on landers mainly focuses on the performance analysis of those who cannot move, and the motion of legged mobile lander has not yet been studied. In this paper, a novel Mobile Landing Mechanism (MLM) is proposed. Firstly, the monte-Carlo method is used to solve the workspace, and the motion feasibility of the mechanism is verified. Secondly, combining with the constraints of velocity, acceleration and secondary acceleration of each driving joint of the MLM, the trajectory of its joint space is planned by using cubic spline curve. And based on the weighted coefficient method, an optimal time-jerk pedestal trajectory planning model is established. Finally, by comparing the genetic algorithm (GA) with the adaptive genetic algorithm (AGA), an optimization algorithm is proposed to solve the joint trajectory optimization problem of the MLM, which can obtain better trajectory under constraints. Simulation shows that the motion performance of the mechanism is continuous and stable, which proves the rationality and effectiveness of the foot trajectory planning method.
