[][src]Crate k

Kinematics (forward/inverse) library using nalgebra.

k has below functionalities

  1. Forward kinematics
  2. Inverse kinematics
  3. URDF Loader

See Chain as the top level interface.

Functions

center_of_mass

Calculate the center of mass of the chain

create_reference_positions_nullspace_function

jacobian

Calculate Jacobian of the serial chain (manipulator).

Type Definitions

Isometry3

A 3-dimensional direct isometry using a unit quaternion for its rotational part. Also known as a rigid-body motion, or as an element of SE(3).

Translation3

A 3-dimensional translation.

UnitQuaternion

A unit quaternions. May be used to represent a rotation.

Vector3

A stack-allocated, 3-dimensional column vector.
