skbot.inverse_kinematics¶
Inverse Kinematics (IK) Algorithms.
The algorithms in this module assume that the environment is expressed as a
frame graph (see skbot.transform). Once this is done, the problem of
inverse kinematics can be neatly expressed as finding parameters for a set of
Links such that a point (or set of points,
depending on the algorithm) that has a certain representation in one frame has a
certain representation in another frame.
For example, for a robot like panda we know the tool position in the tool frame
(often 0), and we wish to change the joint angles (joints are
Links) such that the given position in the tool
frame coincides with a desired position in the world frame.
While using tool and world frame may be most common - after all it is textbook
IK -, this module is not limited to these frames. Any two frames that have (at
least) one valid transform chain
between them that depends on the joints can be used. Expanding on the previous
example, we can specify IK between the camera frame of a static camera and
panda’s tool frame.
