Abstract
The paper proposes application of a Hopfield network to optimization of the movement of a 3R planar robot. More specifically, the network is used to solve a typically complex problem from the computational point of view — determination of the positions of the robot along a certain trajectory — in such a way as to minimize the final end-effector positioning error. The paper illustrates the methodology followed to solve this problem and discusses the results that can be obtained by using the neural solution proposed.
