In this paper, the aim is to introduce artificial intelligence techniques into trajectory planning and obstacle avoidance, to achieve the minimum time trajectory. The method presented has many areas of application including NC/CNC (numerically controlled/computer numerically controlled) machining operations, precision assembly and transportation problems.
