“…Additionally, in the presented simulation, the available degree of redundancy is 1, and it is strictly sufficient to solve the collision-avoidance problem without including the joint limits control, as was achieved in other papers [15,20,48,[51][52][53] where the introduced redundancy was exploited by optimization procedures to find the best α that avoids reaching joint-position limits. The possible involvement of joint-position limits' control, over collision avoidance, in programming trajectories and kinematic algorithms solely depends on the availability of redundancy degrees higher than one, which, if available, can be exploited by implementing one of the strategies proposed in the literature, even with the proposed algorithm.…”
