Abstract

A path-following algorithm for industrial robots is presented in this paper. The algorithm generates off-line avjoint space point-to-point trajectory that, by exploiting knowledge of the dynamic model, takes into account thevactuators' torque limits while preserving the geometric path. Due to the software characteristic of the specific industrial architecture, the trajectories adopt a trapezoidal velocity profile. The algorithm has been designed, implemented and extensively tested on a Comau SMART H4 robot, a closed-chain six-degree-of-freedom industrial manipulator.
