Questions tagged [inverse-kinematics]

Inverse kinematics refers to a set of algorithms used to compute joint parameters necessary to move a robotic arm to a particular position, or more generally to apply geometric constraints on a mechanism (e.g. moving the center of mass of a humanoid robot).

Inverse kinematics is a subtopic kinematics and is a common encountered in robotics. In the simple case of a robot arm, there sections of the arm are connected by joints and there is an end-effector. A kinematic chain is a mathematical model of the rigid bodies and joint connectors in the robotic arm. Inverse kinematics equations are used to determine what joint parameters are required in the kinematic chain to move the end-effector to a particular position.

Best Inverse kinematics algorithm with constraints on joint angles

I implemented the CCD algorithm for Inverse kinematics, it works great but it fails with constraints, I want to implement a system in which if the arm cannot reach the target it tries to get closer to it. I tried to put the constraints in CCD…

Determining Joint Rotations in Gazebo using KDL

I am trying to use the Kinematic Dynamics Library (KDL) within Gazebo to make a "robot arm" position it's palm onto a target model. My current issue is that when I rotate my joints to the computed values, my robot is not at all where I expect it to…

inverse kinematic problems

I have a problem with inverse kinematic. I'm not able to move a tentacle and I don't know why. I implemented many simple skeletons and succeed, but in this case there must be something I'm missing. Hope you can help me! Here you have a detailed…

Flash bone tool actionscript 3 RagDoll

I've made a character, and used the bone tool to make it move in runtime. This works fine, but now I want to add gravity/physics, so I can throw my character and it lands on the ground like a real ragdoll. How do I do this in actionscript 3 ? And is…

Trying to make a Geogebra IK solver for a 3-point robot-arm

I want to make a Geogebra model where you can determine the length of any part ad where the end destination should be, but I seem to have stumbled upon a problem with my functions. Can anyone review my formulas and help me finding the…

Bone Joint Orientation, Inverse Kinematics and Rotation Failure

After watching multiple Tutorials, I still find difficult to draw out a proper conclusion on having control with my bone Joints. I understood the fact that, before defining the IK-constraints, the position of the Bones will determine the Post IK…

Inverse KInematic from scratch in Unity

I have tried to make a Inverse Kinematic formula in C# with Unity although I cannot seem to get work. The join moves when i move the target (purple point on second image) but they do not move correctly to the target. I believe the formulas are…

Why is the pole vector constraint not in the same plane as the bone in Maya

If you create a pole vector constraint for ik in Maya, you can see that the locator and joint 1, joint 2, and joint 3 should be on the same plane. simple ik controller with pole vector constraint This can also be verified by the following…

Why is the black small arrow on my AdvancedSkeleton plugin not pointing towards the center of the locator

In the ADV plugin, the black small arrow points to the center position of the locator, which serves as the pole vector constraint for the joint. enter image description here But in the projects I obtained from others, this small black arrow points…

Active ragdoll in pymunk

I'm writing a script in pymunk/pygame to create a character for a game. At this point, I have a ragdoll (the skeleton) with body parts linked by PinJoints. The problem is that in this way I don't have an active ragdoll, but only a dead stickman that…

Why won´t the bone follow the target as it should? Unity Virtual Reality (VR) and Animation Rigging issue

So I´ve got an issue with Unity´s Animation rigging package. Essentially I´m building a hand IK system for VR and encountered the issue that, for some reason, the tip bone does not always perfectly follow the target even though, at least that is…
