A S‑shaped feedrate based NURBS interpolator for synchronization of robot tool tip trajectory and attitude

Abstract

Parametric interpolation is widely used in robot control. However, traditional NURBS interpolators often encounter issues such as discontinuous feed- rate at block boundaries, truncated curve execution, and unsynchronized tool-tip and attitude interpolation. This paper proposes a high-precision, S-shaped feedrate scheduler alongside an optimization algorithm to compensate truncation error and maintain continuous feed between blocks. We introduce a dual-NURBS interpolation framework for synchronizing robot tool-tip trajectory and attitude. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly improves curve execution rate from 0.998752 to 0.999993.
