Evolutionary Trajectory Optimization for Redundant Robots

  • Chapter
Nonlinear Science and Complexity

Abstract

The trajectory planning of redundant robots is an important area of research and efficient optimization algorithms have been investigated in the last years. This paper presents a new technique that combines the closed-loop pseudoinverse method with genetic algorithms. In this case the trajectory planning is formulated as an optimization problem with constraints.
