Trajectory Planning of Redundant Planar Mechanisms for Reducing Task Completion Duration

Abstract

In the industry there is always a demand to shorten the task completion durations in order to maximize the efficiency of the operation. This work aims to provide a solution to minimize the task completion duration for planar tasks by in-troducing kinematic redundancy. An example setting of a redundant planar mech-anism is considered and an algorithm developed for resolving redundancy order to minimize task completion duration is discussed based on this mechanism.
