Conf. on Robotics and Automation, ICRA'00 %V 2 %P 1720-1725 %C San Francisco, USA %X We propose in this paper new redundancy-based solutions to avoid robot joint limits of a manipulator. We use a control scheme based on the task function approach. We first recall the classical gradient projection approach and we then present a far more efficient method that relies on the computation of motion that does not affect the task achievement and ensures the avoidance problem. We apply this new approach in a visual servoing application and we demonstrate on various real experiments the validity of the approach %U http://rainbow-doc.irisa.fr/pdf/2000_icra_chaumette-1.pdf %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ROBOT.2000.844844 %8 April %D 2000 %K robotics
