Example text
The S- spline representation is "relative" (instead of "absolute") because the trajectory formation process implied by (17) is characterized by ouidng wctws (instead of ~uiding pin&). Specifically, (17) can be interpreted as the vector addition of primitive straight movements ("strokes' in the motor terminology) directed along the guiding vectors: Each stroke is generated - - with a bell -shaped velocity profile (the time derivatives of S splines are bell shaped) and with a time shift among consecutive strokes characterized by the fact that at each time instant three of them are simultaneously active.
