In this paper an energy optimal path planning and velocity profile generation for our highly maneuverable Robotic Electric Vehicle research platform ROboMObil is presented. The ROMO [1] is a development of the German Aerospace Center's Robotics and Mechatronics Center to cope with several research topics, like energy efficient, autonomous or remote controlled driving for future (electro-) mobility applications. The main task of the proposed algorithms is to calculate an energy optimal trajectory in a real-time capable way. It is designed to incorporate data from actual traffic situations (e.g. oncoming traffic) or changed conditions (e.g. snowy conditions). The resulting trajectory is then fed forward to a lower level time independent path following control [2] that calculates the motion demands for our energy optimal control allocation. This in turn distributes the demand to the actuators of the over-actuated vehicle. We show a numerical reliable way to formulate the energy optimal path planning optimization objective, which is able to provide a consistent replanning feature considering the actual vehicle states. Besides this, different types of optimization methods are evaluated for their real-time capabilities. The velocity profile will be calculated afterwards and the generation of the profile is also enabled to handle dynamic replanning. Finally, we show several experimental results, using a virtual road definition and tests on a commercial real-time platform.
