Explicit Modelling of General Task Spaces for Inverse Kinematics

  • Chapter
Advances in Robot Kinematics and Computational Geometry

Abstract

This paper proposes a new architecture for model-based inverse kinematics, in which the task space is described by an explicit model; and it describes a specific implementation of this architecture in which the task-space model is a Lie group representing an n-tuple of displacements to be realized by the mechanism. The objective of this work is to increase the generality of model-based kinematics software.
