Optimization methods of the industrial robots' trajectory

In this paper, we present a part of our wider research regarding modeling, simulation and optimization of the trajectory of the industrial robots. After a short introduction on the importance of the industrial robots, the necessity and widely interest regarding the trajectory optimization, we present a classification of the optimization methods: numerical, computational and hybrid. Then, we make a brief presentation of the main optimization criteria approached in the last few years in several scientific papers, regarding the optimization of the industrial robots' trajectory.
