Class SE3Device


  • public class SE3Device
    extends Device
    A Cartesian 6-Dof device

    The SE3Device is a 6-dof device with 6 independent inputs that
    enables the device to place its end-effector anywhere in the workspace.

    The \mathbf{q}\in \mathbb{R}^6 input vector maps directly to the
    end-effector pose \robabx{b}{e}{\mathbf{x}} , thus:

    \robabx{b}{e}{\mathbf{x}} = \left[ \begin{array}{c} x\\ y\\ z\\ \theta k_x\\ \theta k_y\\ \theta k_z \end{array} \right] = \left[ \begin{array}{c} q_1\\ q_2\\ q_3\\ q_4\\ q_5\\ q_6 \end{array} \right] = \mathbf{q}

    It is easily seen that the jacobian {^b_6}\mathbf{J}_{\mathbf{q}}(\mathbf{q}) = \frac{\partial ^b\mathbf{x}_6}{\partial \mathbf{q}} equals the 6\times 6
    identity matrix \mathbf{I}^{6\times 6}

    The device can be seen as a "perfect" robot, it has no singularities
    anywhere in the task space, no kinematic or dynamic limits (it can
    instantaneous move anywhere at any time). The device is interesting in
    simulations where performance and stability of closed-loop control
    systems (for instance visual-servoing systems) must be evaluated - if a
    closed-loop control system does not perform well with a "perfect" robot
    it will probably not perform well with a real robot either.

      • getBounds

        public PairQ getBounds()


        Since the SE3Device robot is unconstrained and can move anywhere
        whithin the taskspace each of the 6 input's are unbounded ( [-\inf, \inf] ) in practice the inputs are limited to the
        numerical limits of the real datatype, thus this method returns the
        range ([DBL_MIN, DBL_MAX]) for each of the 6 inputs
        Overrides:
        getBounds in class Device
        Returns:
        std::pair containing (\mathbf{q}_{min}, \mathbf{q}_{max})
