An efficient algorithm is presented for solving time-optimal control for a restricted class of manipulators: balanced, decoupled manipulators. It is shown how the dynamics of such manipulators are sufficiently simple that optimal control solutions for point-to-point moves can be found analytically. A change of coordinates is proposed in which the more difficult problem of time-optimal interception of moving targets can be solved efficiently. A fast algorithm is described for computing and updating optimal interception solutions on line.

This paper presents a computational method for obtaining an optimal control trajectory for point-to-point motion of a cooperating robot carrying a flexible object. To increase the overall productivity and its efficiency, it is required to move the object as fast as possible using the maximum capacity of actuators of robots. If the carrying object is very sensitive to vibration, the robots should be operated so as not to cause excessive vibration of that object. This work deals with optimal input design for cooperative robots to reduce vibration of flexible objects that are handled at speed, under firm constraints on control torques.
