An algorithmic approach to straight line trajectory planning has been developed [4]. The trajectory set points for manipulator control are determined exactly on a straight line path. The problem is formulated as a maximization of the Cartesian distance between two consecutive servo time instants. The maximization is subject to the smoothness and torque constraints. The proposed approach has been simulated on a VAX-11/780 computer to verify its performance.
