Objectives
To study: i) the application of evolution strategies to the computation of geodesic lines on three-dimensional curved surfaces defined in digitised form; ii) the application of evolution strategies to the computation of time-optimal control policies for multi-degree-of-freedom manipulators; iii) the combination of i) and ii) to provide a powerful computational tool for practical three-dimensional path planning in CAD/CAM; iv) the demonstration of the practical utility of this tool in practical tests.
