LabView 2010 Robotics

Hi! (PS: If this is showing up as a response on another question, please make it as a new post.)

 

I have nearly any Labview- or programming experience, and got trouble trying to plan a path for our autonomous mobile robot.
We based our program on an already existing example on AD* path planning.

This example was found in NI Example finder: Robotics/path planning/Anytime D Star on an occupancy grid.

We deleted the part outside the first while-loop, and replaced it with a self-created defined map.

After the object-coordinates have been defined, AD* seems to respond differently depending on where the start and/or goal positions are placed relative to the defined object.

Sometimes AD* doesn't plan any path at all, and path cost equals 0 at all times.

If the path runs through a defined obstacle, AD* runs until it stops somewhere near the object, giving the message "No path exists through the obsticles". Sometimes it just stoppes, without giving this message.

 

Is this caused by the "no valid path exists"-output on the AD*-VI, or is it something wrong with the map? And is it possible to make the VI another way, so that the algorithm plans a path around the object rather than giving this message?

 

Hoping for answers 🙂

I believe this has already been answered in another forum, but I suspect the problem is that you have zeros for the cost of cells in your occupancy grid.  In general, this won't lead to a very optimal path, since traversing a million cells has the same cost as traversing a single cell.  (Thus, there's not incentive for the algorithm to take a short path.)

 

If you have a positive, non-zero cost in each cell before you call Create Occupancy Grid Map.vi, I think you will be better off.

 

A few VIs were missing from your post, so I couldn't test it.

Hi

 

 

I am 100% sure the 30 day trial version has the software.

 

You can order it and have it within 2 days.

Hello!!

I have a questions!Can I controll a robot Amigo or a robot Pioneer3 using this Labview Robotics, or this module is done only for your robots?

Thank you

Any robot.  Our intent is to provide building blocks (both hardware and software) that you can use with any robot.  We have some emphasis on mobile platforms, as well as robotic arms, but we think the tools work well for any embedded control system.

 

As an example, this document... MobileRobots LabVIEW Interface

shows a way to work with the MobileRobots SDK, which should work with the Pioneer.

Hello!

I have a problem: when I run the exemple Drive Robot.vi from Mobile Robots Interface Examples apear the error 310153-Unable to connect to the server.I don't know why.I have a mobile robot Amigo with the host:192.168.1.12 and port 80. I put this value  in the front panel and I run the exemple.Can you explain to me what happening and what can I do?Do you have any idea?

Thank you!

Port 80 is almost certainly not right; that's used for web browsers.  You want to find the port that the Robot's ARIA software is listening on.

 

Unfortunately, the mobilerobots.com website seems to be having some problems right now, and I get errors trying to look at pages there.  Hopefully, this is temporary, and you can search to find the answer.
