Trajectories
Trajectory calculation and path planning addresses how a robot moves from A to B while avoiding obstacles and respecting joint constraints. This lecture covers the configuration space concept, how to use inverse kinematics to control the trajectories followed by an object, obstacle avoidance, and common caveats with joint space or cartesian space planning.
The session places path planning algorithms in the broader context of autonomous robot behaviour and safety guarantees.

Associate Professor on Robotics · Automation Department, TUCN
Tassos Natsakis is an Associate Professor in the Automation Department at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (TUCN), where he leads research and teaching in robotics. His work spans robot modelling, kinematics, motion planning, and real-time control of robot manipulators. He is the lead organiser of this BIP and will coordinate the overall programme, deliver lectures on kinematics and path planning, and supervise the hands-on laboratory sessions throughout the physical week. He has recor... read more
