Abstract

In previous chapters we studied mathematical models of robot mechanisms. First of all we were interested in robot kinematics and dynamics. Before applying this knowledge to robot control, we must become familiar with the planning of robot motion. The aim of trajectory planning is to generate the reference inputs to the robot control system, which will ensure that the robot end-effector will follow the desired trajectory.
