Optimal control for kinematically redundant robots is addressed for two different optimization problems. In the first optimization problem, we consider the minimization of the transfer time along a given Cartesian path for a redundant robot. This problem can be solved in two steps, by separating the generation of a joint path associated to the Cartesian path from the exact minimization of motion time under kinematic/dynamic bounds along the obtained parametrized joint path. In this thesis, multiple sub-optimal solutions can be found, depending on how redundancy is locally resolved in the joint space within the first step. A solution method that works at the acceleration level is proposed, by using weighted pseudoinversion, optimizing an inertia-related criterion, and including null-space damping. The obtained results demonstrate consistently good behaviors and definitely faster motion times in comparison with related methods proposed in the literature. The motion time obtained with the proposed method is close to the global time-optimal solution along the same Cartesian path. Furthermore, a reasonable tracking control performance is obtained on the experimental executed motions. In the second optimization problem, we consider the known phenomenon of torque oscillations and motion instabilities that occur in redundant robots during the execution of sufficiently long Cartesian trajectories when the joint torque is instantaneously minimized. In the framework of on-line local redundancy resolution methods, we propose basic variations of the minimum torque scheme to address this issue. Either the joint torque norm is minimized over two successive discrete-time samples using a short preview window, or we minimize the norm of the difference with respect to a desired momentum-damping joint torque, or the two schemes are combined together. The resulting local control methods are all formulated as well-posed linear-quadratic problems, and their closed-form solutions generate also low joint velocities while addressing the ...
