This paper presents a practical time-optimal and smooth trajectory planning algorithm and
then applies it to robot manipulators. The proposed algorithm uses the time-optimal theory …

The terrain adaptability and the walking speed are two key performances of legged robots.
However, methods to optimize these performances are seldom developed, especially in real …

Tool path smoothness is important to guarantee good dynamic and tracking performance of
robot manipulators. An analytical C 3 continuous tool path corner smoothing algorithm is …

This article aims to present a minimum-jerk trajectory planning approach to address the
smooth trajectory generation problem of 3-prismatic-universal-universal translational …

A novel trajectory planning approach is presented suitable for online industrial robot
applications along short path segments such as spot-welding. The proposed method …

The linear motion command (G01) is a widely used command format in CNC machining.
However, the tangential direction discontinuity at the corner junction will cause velocity …
