Summary

Path planning of the end effector motion is here treated from the viewpoint of the path invariance under the transformations of its parametrical representation. Thus, a new method for path planning of the robot arm motion is being developed. Both the problems of finding the end effector time optimal motion and the end effector motion with a prescribed velocity profile along a preplanned path are being solved by the employment of this method. Simulation results are presented and some aspects of implementation are also discussed.
