DLR's torque-controlled light weight robot III-are we reaching the technological limits now?
Gerd Hirzinger,N. Sporer,Alin Albu-Schaffer,M. Hähnle,Rainer Krenn,A. Pascucci,Manfred Schedl +6 more
TL;DR: A third generation of torque-controlled light weight robots has been developed in DLR's robotics and mechatronics lab which is based on all the experiences that have been had with the first two generations, and aims at reaching the limits of what seems achievable with present day technologies not only with respect to light-weight, but also with minimal power consumption and losses.

Path Planning and Trajectory Planning Algorithms: A General Overview
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a trajectory planning algorithm for robots that can be executed at high speed, but at the same time harmless for the robot, in terms of avoiding excessive accelerations of the actuators and vibrations of the mechanical structure.
