轨迹规划直接影响机器人机械臂的跟踪精度、执行器需求及整体运行行为。经典规划方法如三次、五次和梯形曲线因简洁和平滑而广泛应用,但仅考虑运动学,忽略系统动力学和控制能耗,导致名义平滑的轨迹可能引发非线性执行效率低下及控制修正量增加。本文提出一种控制感知的最优轨迹规划框架,在有限时域内显式融合机械臂动力学与执行器努力。引入中点线性化策略以提升大范围点对点运动的近似精度。相比以往对比,该方法在相同闭环非线性执行条件下实现公平、独立的轨迹生成效果评估。为此构建统一评估框架,所有规划器均在相同非线性动力学、控制器结构和执行器约束下运行。仿真基于非线性简化版UR5机械臂,结果表明:所提方法在所有测试场景中持续降低跟踪误差、校正扭矩与闭环执行成本,显著减少执行能耗与成本,证明仅靠运动学平滑无法保证动态高效执行。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Trajectory planning strongly influences tracking accuracy, actuator demand, and overall execution behavior in robotic manipulators. Classical planners such as cubic, quintic, and trapezoidal profiles are widely used for their simplicity and smoothness, yet they remain purely kinematic and ignore system dynamics and control effort during trajectory generation. As a result, nominally smooth trajectories can lead to inefficient nonlinear execution and increased corrective control action. This paper presents a control-aware optimal trajectory planning framework that explicitly incorporates manipulator dynamics and actuator effort within a finite-horizon formulation. A midpoint linearization strategy is introduced to improve approximation accuracy for large point-to-point motions. In contrast to prior comparisons, the proposed approach enables fair, isolated evaluation of trajectory generation effects under identical closed-loop nonlinear execution conditions. To this end, a unified evaluation framework is developed in which all planners are executed under identical nonlinear dynamics, controller structure, and actuator constraints. Simulations on a nonlinear simplified UR5 manipulator show that the proposed approach consistently reduces tracking error, corrective torque, and closed-loop execution cost compared to classical methods, achieving substantial reductions in actuator effort and execution cost across all evaluated scenarios, demonstrating that kinematic smoothness alone does not ensure dynamically efficient execution.
