Kinematic equation for DLS

Post by yokhesh »

Hi,

I am Yokhesh from Clemson University.
I am doing a project in continuum robotics and I am using V-rep for the simulation.
I am using the inverse kinematics tool in V-rep. I am using the DLS inverse kinematics.
Could you tell me the kinematics equation involved in DLS inverse kinematics option?
It would be very useful for my project.

Regards,
Yokhesh

Hello Yokhesh,

have a look at following papers for additional details:

C. W. Wampler, “Manipulator inverse kinematic solutions based
on vector formulations and damped least squares methods,” IEEE
Trans. Syst., Man, Cybern., 16-1, pp. 93-101, 1986.


and

Y. Nakamura and H. Hanafusa, “Inverse kinematics solutions with
singularity robustness for robot manipulator control,” Trans. ASME
J. Dyn. Syst., Meas., Contr., 108-2, pp. 163-171, 1986.


Cheers

Hi,

Thanks for the reference to the kinematics equation.
Could you also provide the reference for the path planning algorithm used in V-rep?

Thanks,
Yokhesh

The old path planning functionality in V-REP was based on RRT and/or RRT connect.
But the new path planning functionality is based on an OMPL plugin for V-REP. OMPL basically wraps dowzens of different planning algorithms. We highly recommend to use the OMPL plugin functionality, instead of the old path planning functionality.

Cheers
