Abstract:
Trajectory planning has been a common and important topic in robotics since its generation. As a powerful tool, it can enhance the performance of the robots in manufacturing industry. In this paper, a trajectory planning method based on unit quaternion was proposed. Unit quaternions were used to represent the orientations of the target as there are no more singularities. The trajectory was planning in Cartesian space using Paul's method and the orientations were intermediated using spherical linear interpolation. Experiments on PUMA 560, the analytical inverse kinematics solutions were figured out to generate the joint trajectory for the execution phase. A virtual simulation platform was built up to verify and illustrate the trajectory planning algorithm. The data of target can be updated with time which is meaningful to the visual servo system.
