Robot Arm Motion Planning Based on Geodesics

Naturally, finding joint trajectories for robotic manipulators involves competing optimization goals. On the one hand, the end-effector should move along a predictable and short path while on the other hand joint movement and acceleration should be kept to a minimum. Obstacles in the workspace or joint limits complicate the situation even further. Constructing a metric that makes undesired configu...
