Real-Time Reference Shaping for Servo Systems
This paper addresses real-time motion planning for servo systems subject to nonlinear, state-dependent actuator constraints. A reference reshaping method is proposed that combines analytical optimality with high computational efficiency. Using Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions, the problem structure is explicitly characterized, and it is shown that the optimal solution lies within a finite set of candidate points. The complete solution set is constructed via closed-form expressions and a small-scale eigenvalue problem, yielding a deterministic algorithm that recovers the exact optimal solution without iterative optimization or root-finding. To address kinematic mismatch induced by aggressive commands, a real-time trajectory compensator is introduced to correct accumulated position error while preserving feasibility. Simulation results demonstrate significant computational speed improvements over existing methods, enabling real-time implementation at frequencies approaching 100 kHz.
