This paper highlights the following:

  • Technique that is used to create smooth feasible motions that avoid joint-space discontinuities, self-collisions, and kinematic singularities
  • Normalization procedure to satisfy multi-objective optimization constraints
  • Using a neural network to approximate distance from collision states, and also using SVD to approximate distance to singular configurations
