Abstract

A method controls redundant actuators of a machine based on a reference trajectory. The method determines a cost function representing operations of the redundant actuators and minimizes the cost function subject to constraints to produce a sequence of commands for each actuator. The redundant actuators are controlled according to the sequences of commands.
