Trajectory planning of end-effector with intermediate point

Abstract

The article presents the Polynomial Cross Method (PCM) for trajectory planning of an end-effector with an intermediate point. The PCM is applicable for designing robot end-effector motion, whose path is composed of two rectilinear segments. Acceleration profile on both segments was described by the 7th-degree polynomial. The study depicts an algorithm for the method and the research results presented as the runs of resultant velocity, acceleration and linear jerk of the stationary coordinate system.
