Trajectory Planning in Robot Joint Space Based on Improved Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm

Trajectory planning is a crucial step in controlling robot motion. The efficiency and accuracy of trajectory planning directly impact the real-time control and accuracy of robot motion. The robot’s trajectory is mapped to the joint space, and a mathematical model of trajectory planning is established to meet physical constraints during motion and avoid joint coupling problems. To enhance convergence speed and avoid local optima, an improved quantum particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed and applied to solve the mathematical model of robot trajectory planning. The trajectory planning in robot joint space is then tested based on the improved quantum particle swarm optimization algorithm. The results demonstrate that this method can replace the traditional trajectory planning algorithms and offers higher accuracy and efficiency.
