The input relegation control (IRC) technique for redundancy resolution is extended to solve the problem of optimizing a scalar performance criteria representing a secondary objective to be accomplished via self motion of the joints. The criteria is defined to be the error between the vector of joint velocities and a new vector of ``corrective` joint velocities, which is minimized in a Eudidean norm sense. The corrective velocities represent a `corrective` action to be applied to the system and axe projected into the null space of the Jacoblan in the solution for the joint velocities. The report demonstrates that there exists a component in the solution for the joint velocities that induces self motion of the joints but is not a function of the ``corrective action``. A technique for eliminating this undesired component is presented. The method is compared to the well known gradient projection technique and its advantages are discussed.
