Abstract

Several methods have been proposed in the past for resolving the control of kinematically redundant manipulators by optimizing a secondary criterion. The extended Jacobian method constrains the gradient of this criterion to be in the null space of the Jacobian matrix, while the Lagrange multiplier method represents the gradient as being in the row space. In this paper, a numerically efficient form of the Lagrange multiplier method is presented and is compared analytically, computationally, and operationally to the extended Jacobian method. This paper also presents an improved method for tracking algorithmic singularities over previous work.
