Abstract

Trajectory prediction is currently attracting considerable attention. This paper proposes geodesic trajectory planning with end-effector and joint constraints to predict the trajectory properties of the end-effector, such as velocities, accelerations, and smoothness. The prediction of the trajectory properties is independent of the joint trajectories. The prediction makes it possible to adjust the trajectory properties in line with a light computational burden. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, experiments were conducted using the Efort robot. The experiments show that the proposed method can predict the properties of the trajectory and modify the trajectory to meet the constraints.
