How to add IK to KUKA LBR

Post by ash891228 »

Hi,

I followed http://www.coppeliarobotics.com/helpFil ... torial.htm to set up an IK solver for the KUKA LBR arm in the database.
First I added two dummys one at the end effectors position and the other at the base position. Next in the Calculation modules dialog, I added a new IK group with the two dummys linked. The last thing I did was change the joint mode from Torque/force mode to Inverse kinematics mode. But after doing the last step, the arm just fell apart in the simulation. Did I do anything wrong or is there addition setup for this?

Best,

atoz

For each joint, try checking the hybrid operation option. This fixes the problem for me. I'm not exactly clear on why this is though.
