This paper deals with the development and implementation of an optimal control scheme for a manipulator subjected to actuator and geometric constraints. The algorithm presented in the paper is towards moving the manipulator end-effector along a specified path in minimum time without significant deviations from the prescribed trajectory. The proposed algorithm is applied to the optimal control of a PUMA 560 manipulator. The results, including a phase plane plot, joint accelerations, and actuator control currents for a spatial trajectory are discussed and illustrated.Keywords:
