Detailed Description

Implementation of a inverse velocity kinematics algorithm based on the weighted pseudo inverse with damped least-square to calculate the velocity transformation from Cartesian to joint space of a general KDL::Chain. It uses a svd-calculation based on householders rotations.

J# = M_q*Vb*pinv_dls(Db)*Ub'*M_x

where B = Mx*J*Mq

and B = Ub*Db*Vb' is the SVD decomposition of B

Mq and Mx represent, respectively, the joint-space and task-space weighting matrices. Please refer to the documentation of setWeightJS(const Eigen::MatrixXd& Mq) and setWeightTS(const Eigen::MatrixXd& Mx) for details on the effects of these matrices.

◆ CartToJnt() [1/2]

virtual int KDL::ChainIkSolverVel_wdls::CartToJnt ( const JntArray & ,
const FrameVel & ,
JntArrayVel &  )
inlinevirtual

not (yet) implemented.

Implements KDL::ChainIkSolverVel.

◆ CartToJnt() [2/2]

virtual int KDL::ChainIkSolverVel_wdls::CartToJnt ( const JntArray & q_in,
const Twist & v_in,
JntArray & qdot_out )
virtual

Find an output joint velocity qdot_out, given a starting joint pose q_init and a desired cartesian velocity v_in

Returns
E_NOERROR=svd solution converged in maxiter E_SVD_FAILED=svd solution failed E_CONVERGE_PINV_SINGULAR=svd solution converged but (pseudo)inverse singular
Note
if E_CONVERGE_PINV_SINGULAR returned then converged and can continue motion, but have degraded solution
If E_SVD_FAILED returned, then getSvdResult() returns the error code from the SVD algorithm.

Implements KDL::ChainIkSolverVel.

◆ getEps()

double KDL::ChainIkSolverVel_wdls::getEps ( ) const

◆ getNrZeroSigmas()

unsigned int KDL::ChainIkSolverVel_wdls::getNrZeroSigmas ( ) const

◆ setWeightJS()

int KDL::ChainIkSolverVel_wdls::setWeightJS ( const Eigen::MatrixXd & Mq)

Set the joint space weighting matrix

Parameters
weight_jsjoint space weighting symmetric matrix, default : identity. M_q : This matrix being used as a weight for the norm of the joint space speed it HAS TO BE symmetric and positive definite. We can actually deal with matrices containing a symmetric and positive definite block and 0s otherwise. Taking a diagonal matrix as an example, a 0 on the diagonal means that the corresponding joints will not contribute to the motion of the system. On the other hand, the bigger the value, the most the corresponding joint will contribute to the overall motion. The obtained solution q_dot will actually minimize the weighted norm sqrt(q_dot'*(M_q^-2)*q_dot). In the special case we deal with, it does not make sense to invert M_q but what is important is the physical meaning of all this : a joint that has a zero weight in M_q will not contribute to the motion of the system and this is equivalent to saying that it gets an infinite weight in the norm computation. For more detailed explanation : vince.nosp@m.nt.p.nosp@m.adois.nosp@m.@upm.nosp@m.c.fr
Returns
success/error code

◆ setWeightTS()

int KDL::ChainIkSolverVel_wdls::setWeightTS ( const Eigen::MatrixXd & Mx)

Set the task space weighting matrix

Parameters
weight_tstask space weighting symmetric matrix, default: identity M_x : This matrix being used as a weight for the norm of the error (in terms of task space speed) it HAS TO BE symmetric and positive definite. We can actually deal with matrices containing a symmetric and positive definite block and 0s otherwise. Taking a diagonal matrix as an example, a 0 on the diagonal means that the corresponding task coordinate will not be taken into account (ie the corresponding error can be really big). If the rank of the jacobian is equal to the number of task space coordinates which do not have a 0 weight in M_x, the weighting will actually not impact the results (ie there is an exact solution to the velocity inverse kinematics problem). In cases without an exact solution, the bigger the value, the most the corresponding task coordinate will be taken into account (ie the more the corresponding error will be reduced). The obtained solution will minimize the weighted norm sqrt(|x_dot-Jq_dot|'(M_x^2)|x_dot-Jq_dot|). For more detailed explanation : vince.nosp@m.nt.p.nosp@m.adois.nosp@m.@upm.nosp@m.c.fr
Returns
