Time - Optimal Control of Robotic Manipulators Along Specified Paths
نویسندگان
چکیده
The minimum-time manipulator control problem is solved for the case when the path is specified and the actuator torque limitations are known. The optimal open-loop torques are found, and a method is given for implementing these torques with a conventional linear feedback control system. The algorithm allows bounds on the torques that may be arbitrary functions of the joint angles and angular velocities. This method is valid for any path and orientation of the end-effector that is specified. The algorithm can be used for any manipulator that has rigid links, known dynamic equations of motion, and joint angles that can be determined at a given position on the path.

Near-Minimum-Time Motion Planning of Manipulators along Specified Path
The large amount of computation necessary for obtaining time optimal solution for moving a manipulator on specified path has made it impossible to introduce an on line time optimal control algorithm. Most of this computational burden is due to calculation of switching points. In this paper a learning algorithm is proposed for finding the switching points. The method, which can be used for both ...

متن کاملThe Practical Implementation of Time-optimal Control for Robotic Manipulators
This paper presents experimental results for time-optimal control of robotic manipulators along specified paths. The implementation of time-optimal control represents several unique problems: (1) the control is generally discontinuous (bang-bang), (2) actuator dynamics are usually ignored in order to reduce the system order, and (3) the optimal control leaves no control authority to compensate ...
