Abstract:
1. A method for controlling a robotic manipulator, comprising: obtaining a planned path for the robotic manipulator with a path generating device; converting the planned path into a control path for the robotic manipulator with a path conversion device, wherein the control path includes curvature information that is determined on the basis of curvature information of the planned path; and controlling the robotic manipulator to traverse the control path with a controller, wherein the planned path further comprises a plurality of sections, and wherein converting the planned path into the control path comprises determining the curvature information of the control path on the basis of the curvature information of only fewer than all of the plurality of sections of the planned path; and wherein there is a deviation of the curvature information between the planned path and the control path, and wherein the planned path and the control path arrive at the same destination.
