LINEAR INTERPOLATING METHOD FOR ROBOT CONTROL

A linear interpolating method used for controlling the movement of a robot in which a speed distribution at the time of linear movement of a multi-articular robot involves a linear acceleration and deceleration so that precision of movement is improved at a driving start point and an end point of the robot. Linear acceleration and deceleration are realized by a discrete time state equation so that a sampling time is reduced and the precision of a straight line is improved while making high speed movement possible. The method computes a positional deviation on the basis of the present position and a target position and then exact driving is maintained via compensating for positional deviation.
