Author: Dr. A. Sterling Affiliation: Institute for Computational Kinematics, University of Neural Systems Date: April 14, 2026 Abstract This paper introduces hdmove2 , a novel computational framework for high-dimensional movement synthesis and trajectory optimization in real-time kinematic systems. Unlike conventional motion planning algorithms that suffer from the "curse of dimensionality" in spaces exceeding 12 degrees of freedom (DoF), hdmove2 leverages a hybrid approach combining Riemannian manifold learning with a sparse, event-driven update rule. The framework is designed for applications ranging from robotic manipulators with 50+ DoF to full-body humanoid locomotion. We present the core architecture, the mathematical formulation of the hdmove2 kernel, benchmarking results against state-of-the-art algorithms (RRT*, CHOMP, and TrajOpt), and a case study in real-time obstacle negotiation. Our results demonstrate a 74% reduction in cumulative jerk, a 40% improvement in convergence speed, and robust performance in up to 128-dimensional configuration spaces. 1. Introduction Movement in high-dimensional spaces remains a fundamental challenge in robotics, biomechanics, and computer animation. Traditional motion planners—such as Rapidly-exploring Random Trees (RRT*) and Covariant Hamiltonian Optimization for Motion Planning (CHOMP)—exhibit polynomial-to-exponential runtime scaling as the number of degrees of freedom (DoF) increases [1], [2]. For systems beyond 20 DoF, these methods often fail to meet real-time constraints.
