Abstract

This paper deals with the design of a second derivative continuous (C2) motion that interpolates through a given set of configurations of an object. It derives conditions for blending two motion segments with C2 continuity and develops an algorithm for constructing a C2 composite Bezier type motion that has similarities to Beta-splines in the field of Computer Aided Geometric Design. A criteria for evaluating the smoothness of motion is established and is used to synthesize `globally smooth' motions. The results have applications in trajectory generation in robotics, mechanical systems animation and CAD/CAM.
