Summary

In this paper, we have reported a trajectory planning for a 1-degree-of-freedom clutched robotic arm. This novel robotic arm has only one actuator, but it can work in a spatial space by using a proper clutch system and a suitable trajectory planning. An algorithm has been proposed for generating a prescribed trajectory by means of seven operation modes, which are generated by different states of clutches.
