Progressive Cartesian Inequality Constraints for the Inverse Kinematic Control of Articulated Chains
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose an Inverse Kinematic Control architecture capable of handling tasks that are expressed in terms of inequality constraints in the Cartesian space. These inequality constraints are progressive in the sense that their influence manifests itself in a zone of finite thickness by damping the progression toward the strict limit of the constraint. We show how to enforce this family of constraints in a two stage process with our prioritized IK sheme. Various examples highlight the potential of this approach for managing complex articulated chains in cluttered environments where obstacles are modelled with this type of constraints.

Combined Direct and Inverse Kinematic Control for Articulated Figure Motion Editing
A new approach is presented for the animation of articulated figures. We propose a system of articulated motion design which offers a full combination of both direct and inverse kinematic control of the joint parameters. Such an approach allows an animator to interactively specify goal-directed changes to existing sampled joint motions, resulting in a more general and expressive class of possib...
متن کاملInverse Kinematics and Geometric Constraints for Articulated Figure Manipulation
Computer animation of articulated gures can be tedious largely due to the amount of data which must be speci ed at each frame Animation techniques range from simple interpolation between keyframed gure poses to higher level algorithmic models of speci c movement patterns The former provides the animator with complete control over the movement whereas the latter may provide only limited control ...

Working and training for space activities is difficult in terrestrial environments. We approach this crucial aspect of space human factors through 3D computer graphics dynamics simulation of crewmembers, their tasks, and physics-based movement modeling. Such virtual crewmembers may be used to design tasks and analyze their physical workload to maximize success and safety without expensive physi...
متن کاملCartesian coordinate control for redundant modular robots
This paper is focused on the kinematic control of redundant modular robots for trajectory tracing. Based on the geometric numerical inverse kinematic algorithm developed for modular robots, a new online control method is presented. In this method, the inverse kinematic solution can be optimized through constructing a weighted matrix. Following this approach, some fundamental interpolation algor...
متن کاملRegions of Feasible Point-to-Point Trajectories in the Cartesian Workspace of Fully-Parallel Manipulators
The goal of this paper is to define the n-connected regions in the Cartesian workspace of fully-parallel manipulators, i.e. the maximal regions where it is possible to execute pointto-point motions. The manipulators considered in this study may have multiple direct and inverse kinematic solutions. The N-connected regions are characterized by projection, onto the Cartesian workspace, of the conn...
