Constrains only orientation but not position
Posted: 24 Jan 2024, 09:23
There is a serial 7-DOF space manipulator, which is in the zero-gravity environment. How can I keep the base orientation constant and the base position follow the law of conservation of linear momentum?
Remark:
1. When joints move according to the instructions I give, obviously the base position will change to ensure that the total centroid position of the system remains unchanged (assuming the system is not subjected to external forces). I have derived the dynamic model of the system, my purpose is to verify whether my dynamic model is correct through the physics engine of coppeliasim.
2. Actually the orientation of the base should be controlled by the jet device, but it seems difficult, so I don't consider this method. Can I directly constrain the base orientation, it looks simpler and more precise.
I'm really looking forward to someone helping!
