Short summary
The time optimal path following problem for industrial robots regards the problem of generating trajectories that follow predefined end-effector paths in shortest time possible, taking into account kinematic and dynamic constraints. This paper proposes an approach to deal with arbitrary long geometric paths. Further a method is presented to achieve suitable smooth trajectories for an implementation on a real robot, in an easy way.
