Summary
The study presents a control approach based on a Hierarchical Optimization Mul-
tiple Shooting algorithm to prevent drivers overheating in robotic redundant ma-
nipulators. Using this method we are able to include temperature dynamics and inequality constraints on the maximum temperature of the drivers in the control equations.
By taking advantage of its redundancy, the manipulator is able to change
its configuration over time to maintain the desired position and to respect the tem-
perature constraints. The presented framework is implemented and tested on a
manipulator made up of links designed in the Research Center E.Piaggio, Univer-
sity of Pisa.
