Robot arm trajectory planning study for a table tennis robot

The 4 degree of freedom robot arm of a table tennis robot has a variety of trajectories. In order to improve the response and the success rate of the shots, we used the joint space trajectory planning method to establish a kinematic model with the robot arm joints as variables, and by combining it with the robot arm kinematics, we obtained the relevant parameters for each joint of the robot arm. Simulation tests and physical tests were carried out to obtain a more accurate trajectory of the robot arm.
