Kinematic Control of the Mass Properties of Redundant Articulated Bodies
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we show how the mass properties of an articulated body, such as its center of mass and its moments of inertia, may be manipulated like any conventional end effector, with well-known iterative, numerical techniques. Within our interactive simulation testbed software, we illustrate this tool for the geometrical design of rigid bodies with prescribed mass properties, and for the manipulation of human figures in computer animation.

Task-priority formulations for the kinematic control of highly redundant articulated structures
In this paper we compare two formulations for the kine-matic control of redundant manipulators, based on task prioritization. We also propose an incremental method to speed up the evaluation of the solution. This is especially interesting when dealing with multiple task-priority levels and with highly redundant structures. Finally, the effectiveness of the approach in the context of posture con...
متن کاملAnalysis of Roll Control System to Eliminate Liquid Sloshing Effect on Lateral Stability of an Articulated Vehicle Carrying Liquid
In this paper, the consequences of filled volume on the transient lateral dynamic and stabilities boundaries displacement of an articulated vehicle carrying liquid is investigated. First, a sixteen-degrees-of-freedom nonlinear dynamic model of an articulated vehicle is developed then, using TruckSim software the model is validated. Next, the dynamic interaction of the fluid cargo with the vehic...
متن کاملInteractive Perception of Articulated Objects
We present a skill for the perception of three-dimensional kinematic structures of rigid articulated bodies with revolute and prismatic joints. The ability to acquire such models autonomously is required for general manipulation in unstructured environments. Experiments on a mobile manipulation platform with realworld objects under varying lighting conditions demonstrate the robustness of the p...
متن کاملJoint-Torque Control of Character Motions: Active Animations
We want to go beyond “passive rag-doll like” simulated characters towards more “active” intelligent self-driven solutions. The “puppet on strings” approach lacks dynamic interactive properties for engaging realistic and immersive virtual environments. This paper focuses on physics-based “self-driven characters” (e.g., character’s own joint-torques to control and move the limbs to accomplish spe...
متن کاملInverse Kinematic Solutions for Articulated Characters using Massively Parallel Architectures and Differential Evolutionary Algorithms
This paper presents a Differential Evolutionary (DE) algorithm for solving multi-objective kinematic problems (e.g., endeffector locations, centre-of-mass and comfort factors). Inverse kinematic problems in the context of character animation systems are one of the most challenging and important conundrums. The problems depend upon multiple geometric factors in addition to cosmetic and physical ...
