Detailed Description

A 3D kinematic chain of bodies that uses DH parameters.

A 3D kinematic chain of bodies that uses DH parameters that should be given in a DH file in the following order: Alpha(1,2...), Theta(1,2...), A(1,2...), D(1,2...). Some of these parameters change during the movement, and each of these parameters becomes a state variable. The indices of these parameters should be given in the file StateIndices (i.e., each entry corresponds to a state, and indicates which DH parameter is variable).

Member Function Documentation

vector Model3DRigidChain::LinearInterpolate ( const vector & x1,
const vector & x2,
const double & a ) [virtual]
 

Linearly interpolate two state while respecting topology.

If a=0, then x1 is returned; if a=1, then x2 is returned. All intermediate values of $a \in [0,1]$ yield intermediate states. This method is defined by Model.

Reimplemented from Model3DRigid.

double Model3DRigidChain::Metric ( const vector & x1,
const vector & x2 ) [virtual]
 

A distance metric, which is Euclidean in the base class.

Reimplemented from Model3DRigid.

bool Model3DRigidChain::Satisfied ( const vector & x ) [virtual]
 

Test whether global state-space constraints are satisfied.

Reimplemented from Model.

vector Model3DRigidChain::StateToConfiguration ( const vector & x ) [virtual]
 

A method that converts a Model state in to a Geom configuration.

Reimplemented from Model.

vector Model3DRigidChain::StateTransitionEquation ( const vector & x,
const vector & u ) [virtual]
 

The state transition equation, or equations of motion, xdot=f(x,u).

Reimplemented from Model3DRigid.
