Synchronous motion planning (SMP) has a critical challenge in the field of dual-arm robotic systems. This paper proposes a new discrete-time SMP (DTSMP) scheme specifically designed for such systems. The proposed DTSMP scheme is derived by discretizing a continuous-time SMP (CTSMP) scheme using a special difference rule. Theoretical analysis confirms that the DTSMP scheme yields a quintic error pattern in the end-effector motion planning, thereby ensuring high-precision synchronization of the dual arms. To evaluate its effectiveness, simulations are performed on a system composed of two five-link planar robotic arms.
