... optimization problem is formulated using quintic B-spline interpolation to generate smooth joint trajectories under velocity, acceleration and jerk limits. Segment durations for all joints are optimized simultaneously. The interior-point method is used to solve the problem. The approach is validated through...

... ability to escape from the local optimum by integrating the original TLBO with variable neighborhood search. The trajectory of robotic manipulators complying with the kinematical constraints is constructed by fifth-order B-spline curves. The objective function to be minimized is execution time...

... to the original HS algorithm. The objective function to be minimized is the trajectory execution time subject to kinematical and mechanical constraints. The trajectory is built by quintic B‐spline curves and cubic B‐spline curves. Findings Simulation experiments have been undertaken using a 6‐DOF robot QH165...
