arXiv:2601.02379v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Biological systems exhibit a continuous stream of movements, consisting of sequential segments, that allow them to perform complex tasks in a creative and versatile fashion. This observation has led researchers towards identifying elementary building blocks of motion known as movement primitives, which are well-suited for generating motor commands in autonomous systems, such as robots. In this survey, we provide an encyclopedic overview of movement primitive approaches and applications in chronological order. Concretely, we present move
The continuous advancements in AI and hardware capabilities are pushing the boundaries of what autonomous systems, particularly robots, can achieve, making research into fundamental movement generation more critical.
A comprehensive survey on movement primitives provides a foundational understanding for developing more adaptable and versatile robotic systems, essential for future automation and dexterous manipulation.
This survey consolidates a broad field of research, offering a clearer roadmap for future development in robotic motion generation and accelerating the maturity of autonomous robotic capabilities.
