Efficient gradient projection optimization for manipulators with multiple degrees of redundancy

Abstract
An efficient gradient projection optimization scheme is pre- sented for manipulators with multiple degrees of redundancy. This is an extension of the gradient projection scheme presented by Dubey et al. (l) for manipulators with one degree of re- dundancy. Feasibility and effectiveness of this scheme is tested through simulations of the seven-degree-of-freedom NASA Lab- oratory Telerobotic Manipulator (LTM). Only the position of the LTM end-effector is controlled, which requires only three degrees of freedom. Remaining joints, escept for the wrist roll joint, which does not contribute to the end-effector linear veloc- ity, provide three degrees of redundacy.
