Multitask-Based Trajectory Planning for Redundant Space Robotics Using Improved Genetic Algorithm

This work addresses the multitask-based trajectory-planning problem (MTTP) for space robotics, which is an emerging application of successively executing tasks in assembly of the International Space Station. The MTTP is transformed into a parameter-optimization problem, where piecewise continuous-si...
