An Algorithm for Dynamic Rigid-Body Model

In this paper, an algorithm for dynamic rigid-body model is considered. To this end, we first develop an equivalent reformulation of the problem via the Fischer function. Based on this, we propose a new type of method for solving the problem, and the algorithm is shown to be globally convergent and quadratically convergent without nondegenerate assumption.

On the generation of smooth three-dimensional rigid body motions

On the generation of smooth three-dimensional rigid body motions. Abstract This paper addresses the problem of generating smooth trajectories between an initial and final position and orientation in space. The main idea is to define a functional depending on velocity or its derivatives that measures the smoothness of a trajectory and find trajectories that minimize this functional. In order to ...
