skbot.transform.QuaternionRotation

class skbot.transform.QuaternionRotation(quaternion, *, sequence='xyzw', axis=- 1)

Rotation based on Quaternions in 3D.

Parameters

quaternionArrayLike

A (possibly non-unit norm) quaternion in sequence format. It will be normalized to unit norm.

sequencestr

Specifies the order of parameters in the quaternion. Possible values are "xyzw" (default), i.e., scalar-last, or “wxyz”, i.e., scalar-first.

axisint

The axis along which to to compute. Default: -1.

Notes

The current implementation uses scipy’s rotation class. As such you are limited to a single batch dimension. If this is to little, please open an issue.

Attributes

affine_matrix	The transformation matrix mapping the parent to the child frame.
angle	The magnitude of the rotation (in radians).

Method Summary

__call__(parent[, child, add_inverse])	Add this link to the parent frame.
invert()	Return a new Link that is the inverse of this link.
transform(x)	Expresses the vector x (assumed to be given in the parent's frame) in the child's frame.
__inverse_transform__(x)	Transform x (given in the child frame) into the parent frame.

Methods

__call__(parent, child=None, *, add_inverse=True)

Add this link to the parent frame.

Parameters

parentFrame

The Frame from which vectors originate.

childFrame

The Frame in which vectors are expressed after they were mapped by this link’s transform. If None, a new child will be created.

add_inversebool

Also add the inverse link to the child if this Link is invertible. Defaults to True.

Returns

childFrame

The Frame in which vectors are expressed after they were mapped by this link’s transform.

Return type

Frame

invert()

Return a new Link that is the inverse of this link.

Return type

Frame

transform(x)

Expresses the vector x (assumed to be given in the parent’s frame) in the child’s frame.

Parameters

xArrayLike

The vector expressed in the parent’s frame

Returns

yArrayLike

The vector expressed in the child’s frame

Return type

ndarray

__inverse_transform__(x)

Transform x (given in the child frame) into the parent frame.

Parameters

xArrayLike

The vector expressed in the childs’s frame

Returns

yArrayLike

The vector expressed in the parents’s frame

Return type

ndarray
