Contour control of a robot arm is an act the end-effector tip being moved along reference Cartesian path, with assigned velocity. When torque saturation occurs, and lasts for some time, contour deteriorations result. In addition, system delay dynamics also causes deteriorations. this paper, offline trajectory generation algorithm described, which achieves both optimum avoidance compensation.
