Abstract
Systems and methods for manipulating an omnidirectional cart using an armed mobile robot are described herein. In one example, a system includes a processor and a memory in communication with the processor. The memory includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to determine a control input for controlling a mobile robot with at least two arms configured to manipulate an omnidirectional cart. The control input is based on the trajectory and the state of the mobile robot when the at least two arms are manipulating the omnidirectional cart. Once the control input is determined, the system then controls the movement of the mobile robot using the control input.
