In this paper, a closed-form formulation for inverse kinematics for redundant manipulators with inequality w nstraints has been proposed. This formulation has been demved by using the Kuhn-Tucker condition, the Lagrange multiplier method, and the active/working set method, so that its solution may satisfy the necessary and suficient condition for optimization subject to equality and inequality constraints. From the formulation, computationally efficient kinematic control methods have been derived using differential kinematics and gradient projection method. The effectiveness of the proposed methods has been demonstrated with a d-dof planar manipulator, and then a 7-dof spatial manapulator as a practical applicataon to a nozzle dam task of a Nuclear Power Plant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
