description To address the issues of unstable, non-uniform and inefficient motion trajectories in traditional manipulator systems, this paper proposes an improved whale optimization algorithm for time-optimal trajectory planning. First, an inertia weight factor is introduced into the surrounding prey and bubble-net attack formulas of the whale optimization algorithm. The value is controlled using reinforcement learning techniques to enhance the global search capability of the algorithm. Additionally, the variable neighborhood search algorithm is incorporated to improve the local optimization capability. The proposed whale optimization algorithm is compared with several commonly used optimization algorithms, demonstrating its superior performance. Finally, the proposed whale optimization algorithm is employed for trajectory planning and is shown to be able to produce smooth and continuous manipulation trajectories and achieve higher work efficiency.
