Introduction of b-splines to trajectory planning for robot manipulators

This paper describes how B-splines can be used to construct joint trajectories for robot manipulators. The motion is specified by a sequence of Cartesian knots, i.e., positions and orientations of the end effector of a robot manipulator. For a six joint robot manipulator, these Cartesian knots are t...
