Title:Several Approaches for the Optimization of Arm Motions of HumanoidsAuthor(s):Daniel Lichtenecker, Gabriel Krög, Hubert Gattringer, Andreas MüllerAbstract:This paper presents several point-to-pointoptimization tasks of humanoid arm motions. The focus lies on optimization of elementary arm motions. Several cost functions for optimization tasks are defined. Tasks in respect of time optimal control, minimizing joint loads and maximizing the vertical torque of the torso are presented. The dynamic optimal control problem is transformed into a static parametric optimization problem by using B-spline curves. The optimization is carried out with the Sequential Quadratic Programming algorithm.Booktitle:Proceedings of the Joint Austrian Computer Vision and Robotics Workshop (ACVRW'20)Publisher:Verlag der Technischen Universität GrazISBN:978-3-85125-752-6Page Reference:187 page(s)Publishing:2020
