Abstract Robotic manipulators increasingly operate in complex three-dimensional workspaces where accuracy and strict limits on position, velocity, and acceleration must be satisfied. Conventional geometric planners emphasize path smoothness but often ignore dynamic feasibility, motivating control-aware trajectory generation. This study presents a novel model predictive control (MPC) framework for three-dimensional trajectory planning of robotic manipulators that integrates second-order dynamic modeling and multi-objective parameter optimization. Unlike conventional interpolation techniques such as cubic splines, B-splines, and linear interpolation, which neglect physical constraints and system dynamics, the proposed method generates dynamically feasible trajectories by directly optimizing over acceleration inputs while… More >
