Below Figure shows the position, velocity and acceleration functions for this motion sampled at 40 Hz. Note that the velocity profile for any cubic function is a parabola and that the acceleration profile is linear.

User specify n+2

Final position

Position velocity User has to give Cartesian data and large data which is kinematically consistent:

Another constraints  user interface must be simple

User should specify the following for creating trajectory:

·         Initial position

·         Final position

·         Via points

Notice: Position specifies velocity to be chosen by the system.

Example:

3 points specified i, j, k

this picture specifies time with respect of speed

Two cubic curves (segment)

at j:

Continuity of velocity and acceleration
