Energy-Efficient Trajectory Planning for Robot Manipulators - Michael Lorenz Kartoniert (TB)

Anthropogenic global warming and its disastrous effects on the Earth's climate system induce an increasing demand for sustainable product development and manufacturing processes. In this respect motion design for automated machines and robots provides significant potential for improving the energy-efficiency of future production. This thesis addresses the problems related to trajectory optimization systematically developing and analysing innovative concepts for efficient robot motion design.
