RT Conference Proceedings T1 Coupled path and motion planning for a rover-manipulator system A1 Pérez-del-Pulgar-Mancebo, Carlos Jesús A1 Sánchez Ibáñez, José Ricardo A1 Paz Delgado, Gonzalo Jesús A1 Romeo Manrique, Pablo A1 Azkarate, Martin K1 Robótica espacial K1 Exploración planetaria AB This paper introduces a motion planning strategy aimedat the coordination of a rover and manipulator. The mainpurpose is to fetch samples of scientific interest that couldbe placed on difficult locations, requiring to maximizethe workspace of the combined system. In order to validatethis strategy, a simulation environment has been built, based on the VORTEX Studio platform. A virtual model of the ExoTer rover prototype, owned by the European Space Agency, has been used together with the same robot control software. Finally, we show in this paper the benefits of validating the proposed strategy on simulation, prior to its future use on the real experimental rover.
