Near-minimum-time control of a robot manipulator

This thesis deals with the problem of minimum time control of a rigid robot manipulator with point-to-point motion subject to constraints on the control inputs. Due to the nonlinear and coupled dynamics of the robot manipulator, finding minimum time strategies is algorithmically difficult and com...
