Abstract

In this paper, the use of algebraic and trigonometric splines for the trajectory planning of robot manipulators is discussed. First, the two methods are analyzed and compared in detail; then, a strategy, which involves a combined use of the two schemes to perform sudden changes in a predefined trajectory (e.g. in case of obstacle avoidance) is proposed. Results show that the main interest in using trigonometric splines lies especially in the task of connecting two separate pieces of cubic splines, as overshoots are significantly reduced, although the continuity of velocity, acceleration and (in case) jerk is guaranteed.
