The objective is to minimize the ripple in the time evolution of robot positions and velocities. Moreover, the manipulator is required to reach a predefined goal without colliding with obstacles in the workspace. The article presents the results for several redundant and non-redundant robot manipulators.engGenetic algorithmsRoboticsTrajectory planningOptimizationconference object10.1109/ISATP.1999.782953
