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.

How do I animate a rotating link in matplotlib plot?

I will keep the problem simple. Let's say I have a link of length 15 units and I want to make it animate in the matplotlib plot as the value of theta(angle between the link and x axis) varies from 0 to 90 degrees. The link should rotate about the…

Forward and Inverse Kinematics for robot MATLAB

Hope you are doing well. I am verifying the output of my forward kinematics through inverse kinematics and the results are not as desired. As the output of my inverse kinematics is not coming out to be the same as the input of forward…

Difference between the two pseudo inverses of Jacobian matrices for IK?

Hi I'm trying to implement IK to my skeleton system and was reading some articles online, and one of the ways to do so was using the pseudo inverse of the Jacobian matrix. However, I've seen 2 forms of the pseudo inverse, and I would like to know…

Ball and socket joint's Jacobian matrix?

I'm trying to apply one of the IK methods, which is using the pseudo inverse of a jacobian matrix to my human skeleton I made in OpenGL. I've been using the following link, https://www.math.ucsd.edu/~sbuss/ResearchWeb/ikmethods/iksurvey.pdf and I…

Importing URDF throws ros::TimeNotInitializedException

I am trying to work with NAO (V50) with trac_ik inverse kinematic solver. I need to use modified limits, because NAO has skin added onto him, which changed the limits. Tried to use pre-genrated nao.urdf without modification, but that throws the same…

Translating Cartesian Coordinates from Hand frame to World Frame: ROS & Baxter (python)

So I'm working with the baxter robot and using the ROS workspace. The baxter has a camera attached to its arm, from which I can read x,y,z coordinates of certain object, relative to the hand frame. Once my object is detected, I need its x,y,z…
