A viable suboptimal controller for robotic manipulatorsA simple algebraic solution is obtained to an optimal control problem in joint space for a general robotic manipulator. Open loop and closed loop control laws are obtained. The resulting control algorithm is similar in form to a commonly used heuristic controller using cubic polynomial trajectories.
