Add a slider as a 7th axis of the robot

Post by hiro_dl »

Hi,

I want to add a slider as a 7th axis of my robot. I am using a prismatic joint in inverse kinematic mode - hybrid operation.
The kinematic chain seems correct and all the elements are correctly dynamically enabled.

The only problem is related to the instability of the robot when I run the simulation.

Any suggestions about how to solve it?

Hello,

it works fine with the Vortex and Newton engine.
The problem is that you have simple P-controllers for your joints that don't know about the dynamic properties. So you could either try adjust those controllers, or adjust the masses and inertias of your robot links. e.g. by multiplying all inertias by 8, you get almost a stable situation.

Cheers
