The object of the study is the process of constructing and analyzing the trajectories of the gripping device of a collaborative robot-manipulator under spatial constraints and the presence of obstacles in a dynamic environment. The subject of the study is mathematical models, algorithmic and software for modeling the optimal motion of the manipulator end effector taking into account kinematic, dynamic and energy constraints. The aim of the research is to construct trajectories of the collaborative robot's gripping device, taking into account constraints and optimal control actions in continuous time, which ensure the construction of trajectories with minimal energy consumption, compliance with given spatial constraints, and avoidance of collisions with obstacles. The research methodology is based on the application of the Pontryagin maximum principle to form the conditions for optimal control and the construction of a system of differential equations with boundary conditions. A special cost functional has been developed to quantify energy consumption and take into account penalties for approaching prohibited zones. The numerical solution of the problem was implemented using the Euler method, and the optimization of the trajectory parameters with fixed final effector coordinates was implemented using the least squares method with constraints. The Python programming language and the Matplotlib library were used to visualize the results. As a result of the study, optimal trajectories of the gripping device were obtained, which ensure collision avoidance, compliance with spatial constraints, and reduced energy consumption when reaching the specified final effector positions. The simulation confirmed the effectiveness of the developed method and its resistance to changes in environmental parameters. The conclusions of the study indicate that the proposed approach allows for a comprehensive solution to the problem of planning the movement of collaborative robots in the optimal control mode taking into account constraints. The results obtained can be applied in Industry 5.0 production systems, robotic service complexes, automated warehouse systems, and robots that interact with humans in a limited space.
This paper addresses the decision-making problem for trajectory planning of a collaborative mobile robot operating in an uncertain dynamic environment. A risk-aware trajectory planning method based on model predictive control is proposed, which integrates probabilistic state estimation of the robot and its environment with the prediction of dynamic obstacle motion and safety constraints. The method relies on the fusion of data from a camera, an inertial measurement unit, and an ultrasonic sensor, enabling increased robustness and adaptability of trajectory planning under sensor noise and incomplete information. Numerical simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach in terms of maintaining safety margins, control stability, and goal reachability in complex navigation scenarios.
This article examines the problem of synchronizing the operation of a group of collaborative robots in a shared workspace with humans, in light of modern requirements for human-centered manufacturing and the Industry 5.0 concept. The relevance of the research stems from the need to ensure coordinated movement of multiple robots while adhering to strict safety constraints in HRC scenarios, where traditional centralized approaches do not guarantee sufficient reliability and scalability. The objective of this work is to develop a mathematical model for the synchronized control of collaborative manipulators, taking into account mutual coordination, tracking of a shared trajectory, and active avoidance of dangerous proximity to humans and between robots. The subject of the study is decentralized synchronization laws in the problem space with projection into joint space and the use of potential safety fields. The work uses methods of mathematical modeling of manipulator dynamics based on Euler–Lagrange equations, consensus control methods, pseudo-inversion of the Jacobian matrix, fourth-order Runge–Kutta numerical integration methods, and methods for analyzing safety metrics. The objectives of the study are to formalize the laws of consensus control in the problem space, integrate safety potential fields, and perform numerical validation of the model for a group of manipulators in a shared workspace. Modeling results for a group of three two-link planar manipulators showed the formation of coordinated trajectories with a reduction in characteristic oscillations and stabilization of dynamics; however, the average tracking error of the common trajectory remains at 0.38–0.40 m. An analysis of minimum robot-to-robot and robot-to-human distances confirmed the effectiveness of potential barriers in steady-state operation, but revealed dangerous gaps in transitional sections. It is concluded that the proposed model ensures stable synchronization and a basic level of safety, but to guarantee compliance with safety margins throughout the entire time interval, it is advisable to switch to rigid barrier constraints such as CBF and task-priority control schemes.

In the current conditions of transition to the Industry 5.0 paradigm, the key task is to ensure effective and safe interaction between humans and robots in a shared production environment. Mobile manipulator robots perform complex operations in a dynamically changing environment where numerous factors influence the control system's decisions: people's movement trajectories, the presence of obstacles, changes in the location of objects, etc. Traditional control systems based solely on sensor data or machine vision have limitations in response speed and recognition accuracy. The use of a hybrid control system that combines machine vision and sensor networks makes it possible to improve the accuracy of situation assessment, decision-making speed, and the safety of interaction with the operator.

This study’s object is those factors that affect the defects of photopolymer 3D models. The task addressed relates to identifying the factors that cause the appearance of surface defects and deviations in geometric dimensions in photopolymer 3D models. The influence of the photopolymer resin temperature on the surface defects appearance and deviations in geometric dimensions, as well as the layers exposure parameters influence on the photopolymer resin temperature, has been revealed. At the final stage of the study, it was found that the exposure parameters of the photopolymer model layers affect the photopolymer resin temperature, which, in turn, increases the likelihood of defects and geometric deviations in the finished model. Provided that the photopolymer resin temperature is kept within the range of 18–26°C, the model dimensions geometric deviation decreases by 0.054 mm along the XY axis and by 0.006 mm along the Z axis. A linear dependence of the size deviations on the exposure parameters and the photopolymer resin temperature has been established. The process of heat transfer from a UV radiation source to a photopolymer resin has been described. A thermodynamic scheme for controlling the resin temperature based on modeling the heat transfer between the exposed layers and the resin volume, considering the exposure time and UV radiation intensity, has been devised, which makes it possible to predict a critical temperature increase and minimize defects. While devising a method for controlling products during photopolymer 3D printing, the photopolymer temperature parameter was considered as one of the factors affecting the quality of parts and the level of rejects. Thus, the proposed method for controlling products during photopolymer 3D printing could be used to improve the technological process of manufacturing parts by reducing the number of defects and improving the finished products quality
The relevance of this study is due to the growing demands for intelligent robotic systems capable of safe interaction with humans in a collaborative work environment. It is especially important to provide adaptive control of grippers, which allows manipulators to accurately and delicately grasp objects of various shapes, masses, and stiffness. The subject of the research is the process of controlling a gripper as part of a collaborative robot manipulator, and the topic is the development of effective mathematical software for adapting control parameters in real time. The aim of the work is to improve the accuracy, reliability, and flexibility of the intelligent gripper by integrating Sensor Fusion and Neuro-PID control methods. In the course of the study, methods of mathematical modeling, sensor information processing, and numerical error analysis based on experimental data were used. The developed model takes into account the symmetry of the applied forces and ensures stable control of the gripping force, as evidenced by the results of experiments on controlling the asymmetric error and the control signal. The analysis showed that the deviations of the gripping error remain within ±0.2 N, and the control signal has smoothed dynamics without sharp impulses, which provides an adaptive response to external changes. The conclusions confirm the feasibility of the proposed approach to improve the control efficiency of robotic grippers. The scope of the results includes industrial collaborative robots, automated warehousing systems, manipulation of delicate objects, and biomedical robotic systems where high accuracy and adaptability of interaction is required.

У даній статті розглянуто актуальну проблему алокації завдань між людьми та колаборативними роботами в умовах Індустрії 5.0 з використанням блочного процесного планування. Основна увага приділяється аналізу взаємодії між операторами та автоматизованими системами, що працюють у спільному виробничому середовищі. Основною метою є забезпечення гармонійної співпраці між людьми та роботами шляхом оптимізації розподілу завдань з урахуванням низки важливих факторів, таких як часові та ресурсні обмеження, складність виконуваних операцій, рівень автономності роботизованих систем, а також пріоритетність виконання різних етапів виробництва. У рамках дослідження запропоновано математичну модель, яка включає функції вартості та вигідності, що дозволяють оцінити ефективність планування. Модель також містить численні обмеження на час і ресурси, що є критично важливими для підтримки продуктивності, безпеки та гнучкості сучасних виробничих систем. Для перевірки її працездатності було розроблено програмне забезпечення на мові Python, яке дозволяє не лише автоматично здійснювати процес планування, але й оцінювати загальну ефективність запропонованих стратегій розподілу завдань. Проведені експериментальні дослідження продемонстрували, що успішність планування значною мірою залежить від збалансованості часових і ресурсних параметрів. Проведені експерименти показали, що успішність планування залежить від збалансованості часових і ресурсних параметрів: при значеннях Tmax ≥ 5 і Rmax ≥ 7 всі обмеження виконуються, а функція вартості коливається в межах 30–80. Натомість у разі недостатності ресурсів система виявляє підвищену чутливість, що робить виконання деяких завдань неможливим або неефективним. Отримані результати підтверджують, що розроблена модель є стійкою до змін параметрів і забезпечує оптимальний розподіл завдань у більшості виробничих сценаріїв. Перспективи подальших досліджень включають розширення моделі для динамічних середовищ, інтеграцію алгоритмів машинного навчання для прогнозування та вдосконалення процесу адаптивного планування.
