Summary

It has been experimentally verified that the jerk of the desired trajectory adversely affects the performance of the tracking control algorithms for robotic manipulators. In this paper, we investigate the reasons behind this effect, and state the trajectory planning problem as an optimization problem that minimizes a norm of joint jerk over a prespecified Cartesian space trajectory. The necessary conditions are derived and a numerical algorithm is presented.
