Serial processing in human movement production

Abstract— This paper presents a study on exploiting the redundancy of a seven-link manipulator to evolve obstacle avoidance skill at the elbow, subjected to endeffector working constraints. These human-like skills possessed by the industrial manipulators will help building flexible and more dexterous factory automation systems that will meet the challenges of the growing complexity of the modern automated manufacturing environments. Experimental results using an industrial sevenlink manipulator called PA-10, manufactured by the Mitsubishi Heavy-Industries Ltd. have been presented.
