Vibration is one of the most important resources of error in motion of tip of flexible robot manipulators. Although much work has been done in the design of controllers for flexible manipulators to follow a specified tip trajectory, it has been done a little work in trajectory planning itself. For redundant robot manipulators, trajectory planning can be accomplished with the aim of optimizing s...

Planning an interplanetary trajectory is a very complex task, traditionally accomplished by domain experts using computer-aided design tools. Recent advances in trajectory optimization allow automation of part of the trajectory design but have yet to provide an efficient way to select promising planetary encounter sequences. In this work, we present a heuristic-free approach to automated trajec...
