Subtask performance by redundancy resolution for redundant robot manipulators

摘要

The problem of selecting joint space trajectories for redundant manipulators is considered. Solutions which allow secondary tasks to be performed by the arm simultaneously with end-effector motions may be selected in a number of ways. An algorithm to accomplish this, by means of conditions on a scalar function of the joint variables, is introduced and analyzed. Problems inherent in schemes involving constraints in configuration space are considered.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
