Noise-Suppressing Newton Algorithm for Kinematic Control of Robots by Xiuchun Xiao, Lin Wei, Dongyang Fu, Jingwen Yan, Huan Wang

“…In this paper, armed with the integral control method, a new noise-suppressing Newton (NSN) algorithm is proposed for the redundancy resolution of redundant robot manipulators efficiently. For practical hardware implementation, the discrete-time noise-suppressing Newton (abbreviated as DTNSN) algorithm is discretized from the continues NSN algorithm. …”
