Abstract

An approach is provided for motion planning and control of an overactuated drivetrain with constrained independent steering. The approach involves, for example, determining a swerve constraint (117) for at least one wheel (115) of a drivetrain (107). The swerve constraint (117) defines at least one steering angle limit comprising a range of steering angles within which the at least one wheel (115) is capable of being steered. The at least one wheel (115) is in a discontinuity condition based on determining that the at least one wheel (115) reaches the swerve constraint (117). The approach also involves determining a motion plan for the drivetrain (107) based on minimizing or avoiding an occurrence of the discontinuity condition. The approach further involves causing transmission of at least one control signal to the at least one wheel (115) to implement the motion plan.
