A new approach to motion control of torque-constrained manipulators by using time-scaling of reference trajectories

We introduce a control scheme based on using a trajectory tracking controller and an algorithm for on-line time-scaling of the reference trajectories. The reference trajectories are time-scaled according to the measured tracking errors and the detected torque/acceleration saturation. Experiments are presented to illustrate the advantages of the proposed approach.
