TY - JOUR AV - none SP - 207 TI - Continuous path planning of Kinematically redundant manipulator using Particle Swarm Optimization N1 - cited By 7 PB - Science and Information Organization SN - 2158107X EP - 217 ID - scholars10819 N2 - This paper addresses a problem of a continuous path planning of a redundant manipulator where an end-effector needs to follow a desired path. Based on a geometrical analysis, feasible postures of a self-motion are mapped into an interval so that there will be an angle domain boundary and a redundancy resolution to track the desired path lies within this boundary. To choose a best solution among many possible solutions, meta-heuristic optimizations, namely, a Genetic Algorithm (GA), a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and a Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) will be employed with an optimization objective to minimize a joint angle travelling distance. To achieve n-connectivity of sampling points, the angle domain trajectories are modelled using a sinusoidal function generated inside the angle domain boundary. A complex geometrical path obtained from Bezier and algebraic curves are used as the traced path that should be followed by a 3-Degree of Freedom (DOF) arm robot manipulator and a hyper-redundant manipulator. The path from the PSO yields better results than that of the GA and GWO. © 2015 The Science and Information (SAI) Organization Limited. IS - 3 Y1 - 2018/// VL - 9 A1 - Machmudah, A. A1 - Parman, S.
